Warning: Rebuttal Ahead
Tuck, if you read the full article, there are two places (at the beginning and the end) where I clearly advised users NOT ONLY to vote for top posters. With about 20 votes a day in your voting power, there isn't enough 'All Star' poster content to vote on that often. I suggested a breakdown of 50/50 or perhaps 75/25 or 25/75, taking care to spend what remains of those 20 votes to reward new, poor, and good quality blog posters -- read my post, and I emphasized that strongly. They need to be supported and paid. I agree, that is the best way Steemit can grow. Also, the whole essence of my piece suggests that people who want to make money need to vote early on good posts. If a top poster is getting what, 6 or 10 votes from people trying to piggyback on the post's income, that's not a lot and it's not going to skew anything on Steemit. Voting later doesn't help the voter as much. Quality posts, whoever writes them, will still get plenty of upvotes because people appreciate the content.

Thank you steamship - as a newbie, it has been a daunting task to wade through the "process" of steemit and the potential benefits this social site has to offer. I had no idea when I first jumped into the arena (two days ago) what the benefit was of upvoting and the limited votes per day (20?) were issued (i'm sure I blew through that my first hour thanking and upvoting all the bots that hit me up, oh well, lesson learned). I have some solid ideas on creative new content and will now take my time is executing quality post. Thanks again.
