I see a platform that is in beta where a lot of things are not perfect, just like in life. There are many proponent and opponents of the vote buying and other reward-for-hire schemes. I think everyone has a point to what they think is real. I see steemit as a microcosm of the real world, though I know most of us, I included wants an utopian setting. In the real world, few still controls the wealth of billions. The only difference is in steemit you get to see how it is done. I think if the problem of reward for content is solved once and for all, that steemit would be approaching utopia. I don't even know if what I just typed now made any sense.

Genius observation:
Thank you very much for being so kind and understanding and for the upvote too. It's a skewed world. We just try to balance it out every now and then.
Great point!
yeah, it did make sense. Because of your astute observation:
"the difference between here and the real world, is that you get to see how it's done."
Wow! You're right. In here, you get to analyze how the super rich create more wealth, and how people react to that transparent analysis. It's true! We've never been able to see this before!
I believe we know how it's done in real world too :) The difference in real world it's being done in a more subtle way as disorder is expensive thing to control. As here disorder or uprising is not a threat at all as it can not happen :)
One of the most simple things to do would be to hide easily accessible wallet information. As now most post are voted per wallet size not the content. But on the other hand we have to maintain incentive for people to stack up SP. It will get better, trust me. If not on steemit then some other front end application that comes as a successor. Somebody will crack it, will find a perfect click and build on it. Trial and error. That is how all discoveries are made. Do not be sad :)
I get you. We are still in development phase, there are suddenly in the last months multiple apps and services being created. They can't be perfect in the start go. It is interesting how it will evolve on Steemit.
I have faith that we can work it out eventually.
@futurethinker lovely username, also I think you are really thinking for the future. Thanks for your wonderful input.
