Let's not pretend Steemit is purely a meritocracy. People upvote wales and dolphins hoping for a curation reward and possible big upvote.

This leads to some terrible posts earning cash because people got there 1st in a land grab.

It amazes me how many people talk about financial revolution and fail to see that Steemit is the worlds economy in microcosm with it's elites above the majority.

Everyone's equal but some are more equal than others.

All upvotes should carry equal weight. That way quality content would become the main differential.

Yes people have to start READ instead of focus over curation rewards and money ....................
