As I said in a comment below:
There is very clear favoritism among accounts with high Steem Power. Certain accounts routinely get massive rewards for content that isn't noticeably better than the rest. Some of it surely comes from high SP accounts running autovote bots to vote up the content of specific users.
unfortunately, I have already sensed this intuitively. My cash cow will be my website, and nothing else.
for a healthy system, there must be built in to the action of the system a way to prevent disapropriate distribution of wealth.
