Yes good post , maybe i don't understand the whole system but the thing that the majority of whales don't vote anybody and just upvote their own posts +their power downs it's enough to make you think again if steem could have a future. Oh and the new websites where you can pay a whale to vote your post , so they take the money from steemit + money from you + money from curation . What are the new users supposed to do ? Kinda sad since was one of a kind project and could work if wasn't everybody for themself.
