Circle voting is quite a common and has been around since steem. I know people don't like to hear it, but you see a majority of the same accounts getting big votes. Right or wrong some of these accounts do put out good content. However to see every post get boosted is a bit discouraging to those trying to grow if those votes are distributed more.

Sure and a lot of that is due to autovotes, but those aren't that bad if the authors aren't abusing them in the way i described in the video by lowering their effort in the posts. You can't blame for instance accounts like steempty for autovoting when he himself doesn't post and I don't upvote him (maybe he could update his autovote list more often I suppose), but then you may have users who both post and vote each other constantly which is a bigger issue.
