Actually, new users can't get any attention from big profile's so they spend few money on post's to bring that in front of maximum people. After that Investment too, I have seen low profile (having 5 to 10 Steem Power) upvotes and most of the time, no big upvote. They try different methods because they are forced to do this to survive here.

Steemit is still evolving, I think it'll be months if not years before the original vision can really be achieved, if it can be achieved at all haha
Yeah it does seem that it matters more who you attract to your post than how many people! I often get 20 upvoted but it only bumps up my post a few cents
