Yes it seems even a place like steemit is not immune to the forces of automation. This isn't sustainable either, neither steemit or cryptocurrencies themselves. Don't get me wrong, they're a great thing to have come about, but a monetary system isn't sustainable to begin with. We are constantly competing with our own technological progress in the endless quest for work. Automation should be freeing us, not impoverishing us. We are slaves by definition if you ask me. We define our entire lives by our chosen burden. We call this freedom, the apparent right to choose how you will slave your youth away.

Sounds sad, right? I think if it doesn't, it just hasn't sunk in properly.
