i think it also depends on what you consider a good post, i often see really good posts of minnow and they only get a few upvotes and not even reach the dollar, and people with high reputation sometimes post a word and they get so many upvotes which i considerer unfair beacuse people upvote thinking about the money they are getting from that post but not for the content, in this case i think it is ok to upvote your own post and upvote the comments of the people that are interested on you. Even when my reward is only .08 i try to spend it in good posts like this one irrespective of the person that have posted it!

You are exactly correct. People pile on to certain author's posts because adding their vote early means they will get a big financial reward on posts that will trend. This isn't curation of quality writing, it is financial manipulation for profit.
Steemit can be better than that.
Thanks!

Well, regarding the fairness, most of the users that have been around for a long time have put a lot of time and effort into the platform/community and worked hard to gain a following. It is not just about posting quality content, it is also about building a 'brand' for yourself and making yourself known to the community.
