The Steemit "Boss-employee" relationship akin to the Chobani Yogourt story

Hi guys!

There seems to be a lot of popularity about "meta" posts regarding the role that Steem could play in the future of social media, even social structure in general - and frankly when I first heard about it it seemed to good to be true. Posting content and getting paid for it? Preposterous! After reading a little bit about the Steem system, I'm jumping in. I'm still not certain about the whole functionning of the Steem system, with it's Power, it's Dollars, the Cashouts, but I'll figure it out (or if you guys can send some guides my way in the comments, I'd love that). Then again, the relationship that Steem as a company has with us seems to be symbiotic - they need content, we're happy to provide some in exchange of some incentive.

It reminds me a lot of the Chobani yogourt story that came out not too long ago, where the boss of Chobani yogourt "gave" his employees 10 percent of the company if it is ever going public, or sold. The payout is bigger according to the tenure of the employee. At any rate, for a company worth a couple of billion dollars, one could imagine a worse fate. Sounds familiar to Steem?

It is a moving story that is so uncommon these days! To quote comedian Bill Burr, it seems that if you're trudging in a cubicule, it's to make somebody else's dream come true. Since not everyone works at Chobani, it's nice to know that cryptocurrency technology allows us to try to become more financially independant and secure.

Thanks for the opportunity, Steem! We'll try to do you proud.
