But really Gideon, we're our own problem. We need to orientate our minds, our whales as you have rightly stated are consumed with work load, too much attention and who will I attend to and who I should not?
Maybe if we can stop acting as a stooge for them, they will change their mindset that we're desperate for a cash on steemit. Because truth be told We're desperate people.
