Great post @steemgoblin! I truly believe everything you've said because I continue to watch when a posting that 's only 30 words and because they buy it through bots get more payouts than those of us trying in the #dolphinschool to break out and make a name for ourselves.
I've noticed on many posts the views will be up high and the votes are low and then in other groups such as #20_votes_plus they'll have not even 10% the amount of views compared to their votes, which means it's being voted on without even being looked at. So sad.
Great post, sorry my power can't give you more than $0.01 but this deserves 100% upvote for sure.
Thanks, this is all I'm calling for. If we really read and engage, and the same people end up on top, the deserve to be there, but when the lower rung of the trending ladder is up over 200 votes and $100 in payout, wow, how do you get there without the $40 SBD to buy votes?

The voting without viewing sounds like something that could have a software solution, if both are tracked.

@novacadian Could be, I think like the article says many circles are just supporting those already on top and therefore they don't even read the content.
