Excellent work - so much info, I wish more people would post in long-form like this, adding to the minority of posts on this platform that won't be an embarrassment to the blockchain once it's locked-in. Hopefully it'll get rewarded with a few more $$$

At what stage are you going to warn people about the high volume of BS on steemit and explain that many (not all) of the high payouts they see are because of votbots, high SP self voting and/ or whale-circles? Personally I think it's good to get this stuff in early and instruct people on how to avoid seeing it all (via their feeds rather than the trending tags).

Of course you have to point out that a money-first approach isn't a healthy starting point, but people are going to see nothing-posts earning a fortune, if they know why, it might aid retention!

NB typo alert under 'undoing what you have done'

then use your vote’s wisely.
