@benjojo, I think this was a rather graphically lovely and on-the-money analogy of the Steemit ecosystem. The use of "mosquitoes" seems particularly (ironically) apt since these wee critters (and not so "wee," if you've ever spent any time in Alaska!) are instinctually compelled to keep sucking blood from their target/host till there is none left... thereby (at least to me) illustrating the futility of any idealistically based human endeavor that involves money... without extensive iron-clad rules in effect to prevent abuse, greed will win the day...
