Believe me, when I stumbled into here 8 months ago, I almost lost my mind with questions. I didn't know much about blockchains, and I'm still learning a lot. This site is bootstrapped which means that it is building itself through trial and error. It's like an onion and the deeper you go, only reveals another skin to uncover.
The reality is that in its core, it's supposed to function like a decentralized autonomous company, without a hierarchy, but as you can tell, the massive concentration of wealth which was done in the early mining phase has created unique and entrenched problems. In theory, the powerful and wealthy whales who do not see the value of this platform will, in time, power down, and create other whales who do indeed care for this platform. That's the optimistic outlook.

Right now you're seeing the whale society who most likely are not the best picks for the cultivation of culture, society and growth. At least that is how i see it. Artists and creators, like myself see and understand the value of this place because it's exactly what I have been wanting/needing: a way to earn income from the creation of work without middle men. But right now, middle men exist in the form of whales. This is the central problem that needs to get fixed, but no one is sure how this will be done. Once such a wealth gap exists, it's hard to ever bridge it. If creators and true cultivators of communities were in the central role of guiding this site, we would see a very different outcome. It seems that people who read and honestly curate are in the minority. This is also a problem. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on how to improve it. Wait til Hardfork 17 because many things will change with that update.
