Why are these posts valued so highly? They aren't really. So why the payout? Whales.

Note @steemed = @itsascam, and they have been caught with @kushed months ago in the @honeyscribe / @perspective "sock puppet" pumping fiasco. honeyscribe = perspective, but they were pretending to talk to each other like different people, and many whales were colluding to pump their content.
Some know @bernisnaders = @nextgencrypto, who doesn't really care about Steemit.
Users that exposed some behavior months ago, got flagged by some of these accounts, hiding their post from being read by more users, until @ned and @dantheman upvoted the post and made it visible again:
👎 steemactioncop, the-illuminati, noscope, knozaki2015, dashpaymag, ranko-k, smooth.witness, kushed, steemed, steemroller, smooth, itsascam
Pump it up, and collect the curation rewards. That's how many whales behave. They don't value and judge the content itself.
This is a problem for the future of Steemit.
How do these posts, 1) add value to Steemit, and 2) merit getting such high rewards while real content creators get crumbs by comparison?
Other whales need to step in and do something to negate these pumped up votes from scammers like @steemed/itsascam, and the others who are doing scammy shit.
Whales, please start to think about the platform first, not your pockets.
Gotta make money somehow. As long as whales can get away with extracting rewards for themselves they are here to stay and turn steem into a shitcoin

I do have some problems with a couple of names you have mentioned but not on this content. I have been following oz chart and like the content myself. I think that is the re choice . What pisses me off is the ones that throw there flags around like a sword if you try to confront them on an issue.
