greer, great comment once again... To put Steem in a nutshell: It's a interesting social experiment but a rather poor social media experience that is really bang on...
With economic background it is fascinating to see the different shareholders actions... but to get your thoughts out to the world..
it is probably more useful to spend the same amount you need for voting power on steemit on FB adds to have more impact...
I hope projects like this: https://steemit.com/steemit/@upmewhale/best-author-reward-project-for-steemians will be able to better the situation...
