The voting seems to be more about building networks than about funding content creation. Unfortunately, there really is no way to fix this dynamics. Even plankton accounts tend to use their upvotes to gain attention.
But I agree that good netizens on HIVE should be aware of the problem and work to fund good content.
PS: Plagiarism is another huge problem. Plagiarists are known to steal good content from other platforms. Many times I've supported accounts that turned out to be nothing but copied content.
Bad experiences with plagiarists mean that when great content appears on the platform, people suspect that it was plagiarized.
One final problem is that meaningful content has a tendency to tweak egos. People do not like to upvote content that challenges their world view.
A great example is that substantive criticisms of HIVE rarely work, while posts that blindly applaud the actions of the whales get huge votes.
I've finally reconciled the fact that HIVE will never serve as the perfect platform for funding content creation and accept that social networking is more about networking than content.

I'm glad I was able to get such a descriptive and long answer. This was the reason why I left steemit, I still couldn't sell my steems, I'm at a loss. I've heard of fairer curation systems here, but I see there is no such thing.
As you said, I think the only purpose here is to create a network, the closer you are to the curators, the more votes you get.
I'm not here to earn hive by content. I'm still in the process of observing.
And whoever likes and follows me from now on, I will only support them in the future.
Thank you my friend for your sharing and comments.
Some of the tribes are good about welcoming newbies. I see that you are a whale on cent blog. CENT seems to do a good job encouraging newbies ... but they want content about economics.
IMHO, ProofOfBrain and VerifyYourBrain does a decent job supporting newbies. VYB does not like people who upvote their own posts.
Foodies is great for food related posts. Lotus does a good job promoting health related content and Sports Talk Social does a good job promoting sports content. Unfortunately the coins are all in the toilet.
If newbies find the right tribe for their content they can do well.
I didn't know that only economy content should be written in the cent community. As of today, I think I have taken one more step towards becoming a cent whale.
Proofofbrain, vyb, foodies are really nice communities. But it seems to me that it is difficult to be recognized and networked there.
The reason I started cent is because I want to help a strong community in the future, I just want to support cent authors. I hope things go well, I want to grow as a Hive whale with the cent community. Thank you very much indeed for your answer.
Thanks for the update. I just checked the description of the CENT Community. The description now reads:
I recall the original description of the community said they wanted to focus on economics.
The topic of "economics" overlaps leofinance which focuses on crypto and finance. So, it is probably better off as a general content tag.
The unique thing about the CENT token is that it strives to be somewhat more stable than the other coins.
I will update my description of the CENT tag.
Communities Came Before Tribes
If you are wondering. HIVE released the "Community" feature before it releases HIVE-Engine. The communities tried to differentiate by focusing on different topics.
People added coins to the communities. This has caused many of the communities to become general use entities.
Here is the link to explain the shift from economics to general content from @anadolu himself: https://www.centblog.org/cent/@rzc24-nftbbg/re-ironshield-202239t185916383z
Thank you for sharing such detailed information with me.
My pleasure. 😊
I have 100K cents, I will write an article for you about the regular earnings of it. You will know when I tag you, don't worry my friend😊😊
