Thanks a lot for your thorough reply and explanation, I appreciate it. So it is about the community and the participation. I like it.

Your analogy with startup and earning equity is a good one. I am just now finishing the reading of Elon Musk book :)

Revenue sharing systems are not sustainable in the long term. And what is more important - they are not transparent and equal to everybody involved. Steemit is - as my first impression is - both sustainable (by the community) and extremely transparent.

Let's stick around and see how it will develop...
