True, forgot to include the part that the sponsored person is actually still getting paid. Of course also any existing influencer online can quite comfortably divert their existing follower base from other platforms to Steemit, invest enough in SteemPower to be able to surface their content and immediately start making money.

It would be interesting to show how long it takes under the existing conditions to turnover one's investment. If an existing blogger for example that already is making some money online or just has the financial means to invest, would deposit 10,000$ into steempower and started publishing content. Problem is there are too many variables, so that calculation is a little too complicated for me :)
