Boy would I like to get $1000 every time I sneezed on Steemit. Account value $5,000,000. The articles are not that great, interesting yes, but outstanding... no...to be honest with you. I think what happens is they are consistent and personal. Letting people see through their eyes. They're everyone's buddy. People upvote them knowing the rewards they will get for curation. But yeah, scrounging around whining and pleading isn't going to do it. Just make some friends. Big or little. A friend is a friend.

They'll get the same amount of curation rewards but most likely more if they wouldn't pile on those heavily favored posts. Every voter gets a 25% cut. If there are 500 votes, that minnow is getting nothing plus wasting their vote. If they vote up someone with 30 votes, the pot is split 30 ways instead of 500. If it's only minnows voting, only minnows get the curation rewards! A dolphin like me can come along, see 3 votes on a minnow post, vote it up 100% and take damn near the entire 25% cut. So many folks just don't get it and when those at the top explain it, of course they will explain it ways that benefit them the most! "Pile on! Look at me! I'm getting richer and richer and it's all your fault!" :)
You can change a structure or organization but changing human nature is a little more difficult. They tend to take it with them wherever they go.
Swimming upstream, I know all about it!
