RE: Extensive stats comparison pre-HF19 and post-HF19
Actually, it's NOT a "huge drain" on the rewards pool. Think about it - the top 2% of whales are the ones who dole out the whaleshares of the daily rewards pool. All the minnows on SteemIt can't hardly begin to touch the voting power of the top 2%. All said, minnows account for less than 5% of total daily rewards - which is about... $4,000 total, per day. Out of the $80K which is given out daily - who really gives a crap if minnows stroke themselves to death??? What difference does it make?
There are thousands of minnows on here who would almost KILL FOR $1 A DAY in payouts....There are thousands on here who are living on a $1 a day and one extra $1 a day would change their entire lives. It would be nice to profoundly change 4,000 peoples lives than have gamed theft.
Anybody who would commit violence for $1 is not only an idiot, but probably doesn't really fit into the overall context which SteemIt is meant to promote - do they? Nevermind the other $76K in the rewards pool? It seems their efforts would be better spent following whales and commenting on their posts, as it's actually pretty easy to get a several-dollar upvote at least once a week, just by doing that.
The simple fact of the matter is, most scammers are, "So Dumb, They Can't Even Do Wrong, Right." I mean, have you opened up your spam folder in your email lately?
They can't even spell, write, or speak without making a fool out of themselves:
Simply focusing their efforts in a productive direction would net them much bigger rewards than their best attempts at trying to scam somebody.
