Bill when you vote at the same time as others on my post just after it is published then the votes from others increased the cost also. I appreciate you voting on my post and being here on Steem with us!

Thanks for the reply Jerry... Your work with the Steemit platform is appreciated.
Question; Is there a unbiased review panel "with power" constantly searching, reading through content. for relevant or engaging topics, or conversations. Then up-voting and engaging regardless of self interest. If content creators/engagers do a "good job" someone relevant will realize and you will be rewarded.
I Do like steemit and want to see it succeed. I also want to know that the people with the most influence are not going to continue to abuse their current power and "grow" this thing. Imagine Steemit
"The Content Provider" short term pain for long term gain.
Excuse me if you already have this sort of thing happening. Just ideas based off my own experience.
