SK, I'm on your side here, on principle. But I think all your peeps would be more free with the U-V if you would add some of your sparkling commentary to the jewels you dig up from reddit and the web at large. I can see many redditors coming over to Steemit when they see it Growing and Paying!
I was under the impression some of the reddit material was your own, now I know most of it is not, unless you have multiple accounts? Not criticizing, but we have common friends who said they think you are just "mailing it in"... :-(
