I think is good the way you bring this topic forward. But the truth is that the solutions to this is neither here no there. Most writers are frustrated by not making any money from their articles, imaging spending days to right a post but you can't even get 1 dollar for it. Then someone makes just one or two line comments and get 2 dollars through self upvote. Some people have stop writing since they can't get upvote, they use the little vote they have to upvote themselves. In my opinion I think that the system should fine away to pay at list 50 dollars automatically for any content that is good. So that people will continue to write. Members should be encourage to upvote others instead of the comments. Or that they should share their days vote into two, one for themselves, the other for peoples post. The money is theirs, they have the right to do whatever they want with it. My own is that I want the system to be fair to all. Thanks.

Who defines "good" if it's not the votes of users with the largest stake in the platform (Steem Power holders)? I understand writers get frustrated. I was frustrated a year ago also. For me, the solution was to change my thinking about expectations and how this system works. I wont' bother you with all those posts, but I wrote quite a few of them understanding myself and Steemit. Life is a gift. If we make anything else, we get frustrated.
Well your right, i use to tell people too that their focus should not be on money, but to improve their life and have fun, money will come later. But you will agree with me that why many upvote their comment is to make money to raise their steem power. i have some friends here who feels that self upvote is the best strategy to grow their steem power, as for me, I don't see it as the right thing to do, but the truth is that, they are growing fast with this, when they write article they don't make money, but if the make comment, they make money. if you spend much of you time blogging without making money how will you pay bills. Haven't you notice that peoples content doesn't have more vote again, I think that one of the reasons for this is self upvote. If there won't be any solution for this, that means that more people will join the self upvote group, and with time contents might not get more than 100 dollars, If this happen, those who are spending much money in doing content will stop . That is the way i see it. thanks.
