I see your point there but don't we want to share with everyone who likes the same things as us equally? Sure there will be a lot of sheep/minnows following, but that is good for the masses and keeps them included. If the minnows think that their vote doesn't count then they will think their vote is not worthwhile and won't vote for anything.

You are conflating equal in time and equal in voting power. But both forms of equal weighting would be destroyed by game theoretic attacks. Click the link I provided for more detail. Yeah we'd like to achieve some of the attributes you are thinking, but the problem are the attack vulnerabilities.
There will always be attack vunerabililties, for example if we have all minnows and whales camping out at @kimkardashian feed then the early upvoters get the most rewards (SP weighted) whereas I would prefer to lump all the upvoters together (SP weighted of course) so that they can share the rewards equally (SP weighted of course) . Whatever time they upvote shouldn't matter because they all like the selfies she has uploaded equally. If I was not a KK fan (which i'm not) I could camp out at her feed and upvote all her selfies and get some steem. Others could also do this and then it would seem she has more followers than she really has. Just a thought, it might be a good idea to try out different ways while the platform is in beta, including WoT weightings also.
