Hi @timcliff, you've been a big help to me a few times in Steemit
chat/help etc... I respect you for that and for your obvious
knowledge about all of the vagaries of the blockchain.
I don't think if I were 20 yrs old again, able to maintain my
Attention span for extended periods as I used to, I would EVER
Understand all this.
I came here for three reasons.

the promise of getting paid for posting what I did in FB for free
The absolutely WONDERFUL formatting options and landscape
(as compared to FB and a few others) allowed me FAR better
avenues of expression.
The (perhaps false) sense of security and permanence that
The blockchain seems to afford me.

So, in the post above, you said:
"It means more money going into the hands of users who are contributing to the value of Steem, and less money going into the hands of the users who are just here to leach."

I don't see what I do, posting original/inspirational poems/prose,
Original photos and family stories, I don't see those "contributing
To the Value of Steem", so by process of elimination, that makes
Me a Leach.
Not sure I like that appellation.
Please tell me I've misinterpreted your statement.? I hope?

Are there users on the platform who are enjoying your content? If so, then you are adding value.

Leaching = creating plagiarized / spam posts then self-upvoting to steal rewards from users who are actually contributing.

I don't plagiarize, I will sometimes use a quote (but link out to it)
as a part of my post, and yes, going by the few comments I get
Those that do comment are generally complimentary.
I self upvote, but only after the first hour, I don't
Know how to create or use a bot, and I wouldn't
Do that anyway. I am pretty scrupulously
Honest about stuff like that. Comes as
Part of my recovery after many years
Of being a slime ball because of Drug and
Alcohol addiction. I can't go back there again.
Just recently, after losing 18 months of work and
Income when tsu folded, then joining here and seeing
My wallet explode in value that first few months, only to have
It all crash, now 2 yrs later I finally found a way and managed
To cash out some steem and pay myself some real USD, for the
First time ever.!!! It felt so good too!!!
All these hard forks and booting up in the morning only to find
Everything changed, a new wallet, new rules... it all scares the
Hell out of me and I don't think I'm alone. Thanks for
Responding @timcliff.
