No, they do not represent different things. You read, next you comment and if you like what you read you show that by giving an upvote. What will happen if the SCs stop? That is how Steemit started without SCs and people did grow.
It is like @fajrulrifst says: this is social media, can be built to "hide" the investors or make it look better but it is replacement for social media back then Facebook and so on. The idea was that we would help another growing. Everyone has free voting, everyone could use it, but the average Steemian doesn't. Any idea how many upvotes could circulate if everyone was aware of what the effect is? Why it is important to talk to others, connect and build bonds?

I think you know me by now. I do read a lot and always comment. Also, I may read and not vote, if I'm suspicious that I'm not reading the work of a real person, but I'll comment on that, and If I read something that I utterly dislike, I only comment if I feel the discution will be fruitful. So, You can count on me to go around and vote and comment. As for what I can do to stimulate others to do it, it only works if they are interested in taking part in the conversation. Sometimes, it's like talking to a brick wall.
Anyway, you are totally right about the importance of building bonds and I'm pretty sure you know a lot more than me about steemit's economics, but I haven't gotten to that part yet. For now, I'm mostly worried about getting myself into the group and learning about the people. The economics will come later, I'm sure. For now, I just follow the lead of a couple of persons I've learned to trust. You included.
In any case, I felt a lot more movement around here this week than the last. Let's see if it keeps up that tendency.
Have faith. If you get good people, things will grow naturally.
