Greetings!
The way you wordered it, you've made Steemit sound like a dictatorship with the top being the majority shareholder and his underlings who continue to keep the top, on the top. In many ways this platform reminds of me a pay-to-win MUD. If you're unfamiliar with the term, a MUD is an old school MMORPG which was text-based.
