Well it is their selling point, its says something about "your voice is worth something" in which they are referring to a payout. Which is great, I am merely saying the system needs some tweaking to allow more people meaningful voting power then it currently sits or the majority won't stick around.
Yes, I don't look at Steemit as a get rich or a path to riches, but I do look at as an outlet as content creator where I can get paid for my content and if the reward isn't on par with other outlets there is no point in spending the amount of time it does to write a quality article here on Steemit, thus leading back to my statement of I have to wonder about longevity of Steemit.
I don't mean to sound negative, the platform has a ton of potential, but I am just pointing out possible or probable issues that might affect its success if left unchecked. As you can tell am not one of those bandwagon jumpers, but I am defiantly giving it a fair shake and trial.
