Wow, you nailed it with this comment. I totally agree with everything you said here. Greed is a huge issue for sure and like you said seems like the people with huge posts payouts have crap articles. I think ur right about the trending page too, i don't even bother looking at it anymore but if I would have found steemit now I probably wouldve not even bothered to sign up. I have convinced 10 of my friends to sign up since new years and none of them stayed on the platform..... Thats a huge problem in my eyes. If they cant even keep 1 out of 10 people here on steemit, it will not succeed!

May big guys keep voting each other, or keep flagging each other. If they would spend 5% of their voting power to upvote quality posts of the little guys, the situation for us minnows would be completely different.
There are exeptions of course. There are big guys who are being very supportive, but still, we minnows are stuck upvoting eachother, which results in 60 upvotes worth $1.50.
Selling and buying upvotes is not allowed in the SteemIt FAQ, but unfortunately Steemit Inc has abandonned the sinking ship...
