Turning STEEM into a pyramid scheme would destroy its credibility.
I've literally had to show every new user I introduced that it doesn't have that kind of system, because they suspected it might.
If you have half a mind and have lived in the last century, you know that earning something for nothing is never a good system.
Adding a referral system to Steemit would be a total nightmare.
I agree, but that's common sense. Logic.
However, my brain can't comprehend the last few words you just typed out, I kinda exploded, but that's more because of the accusation you put in between the lines.
If your own brain capacity is limited by that much intelligence, i understand that you can't process the idea that good content is mandatory on this platform and worth so much more than "nothing". The ideology here is that the community decides how much it will be rewarded. There is a chance you earn nothing, but is earning the focus? Is creating good content the focus? Is curating shit posts for a higher CR the focus? You tell me.
Please, before making it sound like you're superior by implying that other people who do not agree with you are incompetent: Get a better understanding about the (revolutionary) concept of steem and get out of your litter first.
"Good" versus "Bad" is just an opinion, so what are you trying to say and what do you mean with content getting banned? If that is happening right now I'm sorry because I didn't know, but that I find really hard to believe unless you mean flags.
They can use the system? If you need RC tokens to publish, you can try to gather them by engaging with other Steemians or post something valuable on our blockchain. The more you contribute, the higher the chance of getting rewarded. Ah, the "more" thing is limited eh? Well, simply use Proof of Brain a little bit more and comment a little bit more than "Nice Post", the platform is already full with shitposts, and do we want to have more of that? I don't. If your RC tokens are scarce, what would you do? I would spend them wisely. You shouldn't be asking for more, because you think you are entitled to. That's simply not how the system works.
Getting rewards simply because you referred authors are ridiculous.

Here is an imaginary dick you can chew on.
Leaves this shallow-minded one-way discussion.
You are totally missing the point here and the message of the post from @steemitblog There is no free money here and we are far off from any pyramid structure otherwise you don't understand blockchain and the reward pool.
The question of this post was who is paying for the extra SP or RC so that new users have more ability to interact. Your answer is totally of the charts...so try to come up with something better?

You mean like how @ berniesanders does it?
If you consider that legitimate blogging, then I begin to see where the problem is. You might want to check out where most of his high powered votes go... to himself! And I have absoulutely have no problem with free speech, but apparently the guy who hides behind someone else's name does! Live and learn lanmower!
You just don't get it. I have no problem with self-upvoting. My problem is with his hypocricy. He condemns and flags everyone else and publicly identifies them on his @ abusereports, then does exactly the same thing... upvotes his own abuse report! And if he had any principle, he would leave his emotions out of flagging someone for no reason just because he doesn't agree with them. Talk about curtailment of free speech! David Knox once said "Some get it, some don't. Some will, some won't. Those that do, do... those that don't, dont." You obviously fall into that latter category!
If you see no problem with hyprocrisy, then you are part of the problem. While it may not be my job to instill integrity in anyone, it is everyone's responsibility to help protect the very system that feeds them. But now it is too late, and because of people like you who do not know how to take responsibility, Steemit is failing! Ha, no problem though... I have taken my money out. Good luck to you!
