I think, as many minnows power up across the board, that we are moving towards the core design of Steemit as voting power gets more spread out among the Steemit masses.
Pareto's law states that there will always be higher concentrations of power in a few amongst the many; that's just how the Universe is.
You want to know about inequality?
Just 3 individuals, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates; collectively are worth 60% of ALL the wealth in the United States.
Having more witnesses being paid in Steem to spend 8 hours a day, covering Steemit 24 hours a day, watching for awesome posts and giving THOSE posts the $50 upvote would make Steemit more attractive to the uninitiated masses who are new to Steemit.
Give those authors the chance to REALLY show the world how great Steemit is; not an early investor giving themselves a $100 upvote on a picture of a flower.
(After finding him I spent 2 days reading all of his past posts; too many 'laugh-out-loud' moments in a coffee shop to count 😂).@hanshotfirst is a great example of true quality. So is @surfermarly, @neilstrauss, and my favorite Steemian, @themadgoat.
When the trending page gets fixed, that'll be a good start.
Perhaps a witness-reviewed trending page that people can go to in order to find quality?
The Steemit team is doing great, I have no doubt they'll do even better when we, the people of Steemit, offer constructive feedback on HOW to make it better.
