That's something I've observed in this social media since the beginning. It seems like the system pays you not according with the amount of votes but to the amount of Steem Power the voter(s) have. :/

Yup, that is the idea - that those with higher stakes (earned through contribution or bought through trading) have more say in which content gets rewarded. It's a feature, not a bug. The game theory is that powerful curators have a vested interest in turning this into a great platform with great content (to make STEEM more attractive to investors, which in turn increases the value of their stake) and are thus incentivized to vote responsibly and rationally.
It's an interesting experiment worth trying, yielding funny results sometimes. Looking forward to whether the theory will prove its worth in the long run.
