Dude, you're trying to criticise a system while at the same time reap rewards from it. Do you not sense a bit of the absurdity? Also, your pleas for upvote scraps come off kind of pathetic.

My point is to prove the ranking system is a circle-jerk and thus the system has no value.

I entirely expect to not get upvotes. I will be surprised if I do.

There is a difference between criticizing and stating facts. The facts I stated have been vetted by all of you here, as you had every chance to refute me during the discussion. I want to test if otherwise very smart people will reject and ignore facts.

Also perhaps you failed to notice, the first item is not a criticism against Steem but rather in support of it (except that Steem doesn't yet support community building).

P.S. I wasn't going to post again on Steem because I realize most of the whales have probably figured out that I am strongly leaning against supporting it. I realized I needed to compile all my recent analysis, and I might as well prove to myself that my assumption is correct that the system is a circle-jerk lying system.

Sorry, I didn't fail to notice, I just failed to click your link at all. I don't read steems, or steemers, or steeming piles, or whatever hackneyed terminology they're floating.
