In that video you cited, he is correctly informing users that if they don’t do it, they are falling behind others who do it. IOW, he is explaining that the rewards system of Steem is a Prisoner’s dilemma (and it can’t be fixed no matter how it is changed!).
However, I don’t think that 2% compounded is realistic for anyone with significant size. That would be 400+% increase in STEEM POWER per annum! Would be flagged by other whales who wouldn’t want you encroaching on their rewards turf.
I have written a point-by-point rebuttal of @jerrybanfield’s incorrect propaganda campaign.
