For the sake of etiquette i sometimes do upvote questions that gets my juices flowing.
But if you ask questions for the sake of getting upvotes then tbh you're doing it wrong. There's no way nice to say it.
Personally I ask questions on Musing when I fail to find good questions that interests me. Either that or I want to start a discussion with people that knows that they're talking about with something I'm already interested in.
I honestly think that are not using Musing question asking to its full potential.
For example, there are already 5 people who answered your question (at the time of writing). Including myself it will be 6. Perhaps more as time goes on. You now have 6 potential Steemians you can start a conversation with, build rapport, connect, and who knows, even make friends with. Humans are biased, If I like you enough to follow your work and see your posts in my news feed, i might just click it. And when I click on a good post there a high chance i would upvote and comment on it.
But all this is lost to a person who is looking for the short term profit of asking questions to get upvote.
No, absolutely not! I think its only fair that answers get bigger a upvote than questions.
If I ask a question, than I would just be happy to see my questions answered. If am upvoted for a good question then its a bonus. If I want an upvote I'll try to come up with a good answer for other questions.
Everybody has questions but few are ever answered. I think there is a reason why answers are more deserving than questions. Sometimes it takes hours to ponder over a question, so an answer could be written. Some questions are even more information oriented and you have to look at the data from the internet to answer them and that takes considerable time and effort.
A question that took only ten seconds to type may take hundreds of seconds to answer. If somebody invested time in coming up with a good question the there is someone who will spend even more time in coming up with a good answer.
No, some people ask questions that can easily be found by doing a simple google search, or spam questions in an attempt to get upvotes.
The people who thoughtfully answer the questions are the ones who should earn because they are putting in the time and effort to answer it and provide something useful.
Asking a good, thought provoking questions may land you a nice upvote but I feel like the person who gives a complete answer should be the one to gain more.
Absolutely not! Because when you ask questions you earn knowledge, useful tips from those who answered your questions which can't be replaced with money.
As for me, I see it as if the people answering the question you asked are actually helping by giving out their knowledge. Yes, they also earn by answering those questions, but at the end of the day, the person who asked the question will be at the receiving end. So, it's not all about the earning, but the fact that you got what you wanted should come first.
It is worthy to note that Steem incorporates the "Proof-of-brain" concept. People contribute to the platform by sharing their knowledge, skills, talent and experiences. Whenever someone asks a question, it almost always does not require one to think and questions are mostly just one-sentence comments.
The way I see it, if @musing starts upvoting questions with significant rewards, then people would come in flocking to the platform with so many random questions. So personally, I don't think it's unfair that answers are earning a lot more compared to the questions.

I don't think it's unfair but I think about the criteria for the appraiser. and the extent of the appraiser's ability to analyze an answer.
