There are some promising signs. There are also some people buying lots of Steem to buy votes. We need to keep an eye on them. My hope is that enough good people power up to have a significant effect on rewards distribution.

Yeah, that seems to be a major loophole in the economy of this platform. Guilty of it myself @tipu has a great platform where you simply send some Steem, put in an url, and moments later get a big ol' upvote from 'em.
Basically "rich rewards the rich" and everyone else gets table scraps.
That's my estimation of Steem so far, and I've only been here a few months.
Heh :)
Judging by your account age you missed the times of 30/40 tipu style accounts(bidbots) with big ol' upvotes. It's interesting you are negative towards the account as a post hard fork 21 account :)
There's no perfect system and greed is a powerful force, but Steem offers something different with great potential. If people just buy votes it will turn to shit, but we also need big accounts to support good content and that is happening more lately. I do what I can.
Time will tell.
If the majority are not selfish and not greedy, then that will be good.
Otherwise the more they power up, the more they are able to upvote themselves.
Unfortunately many people focusing on upvoting themselves.
Or only a few accounts (each other) (voting circle). This latter is usually applies to whales.
