Isn't that a bit undemocratic if people can effectively "buy" upvotes? Why is that even a feature?

    I do get your point. There are people who become auto whales by investing 40k or more!

      I consider it like investing in a sole proprietorship. Vesting interest in Steemit means one has skin in the game. It is a brilliant system.

      What game do they have skin in exactly? I don't know if it's a brilliant system or not - to me it seems confusing and the value proposition is still unclear to me.
