I'm glad that things are starting to work as intended. We have all seen these artist Plagiarists raking in votes and i have also seen the use of upvote bots enabling it. I just hope these new credits won't restrict new artists getting a foothold on the platform. It has been a long way from the bottom to get established on this platform for me and I hope that for new genuine users it won't get harder. Maybe the communities features will help if and when that arrives.

Isn't it odd how so many are willing to sacrifice the multi billions of dollars the arts and entertainment scene generates every year just to sell a few votes and hold the actual content producers back? It's so incredibly counterproductive, yet continues. I've never been able to figure that one out. If you put the artist on stage, you get a packed house. An empty stage means empty seats.
Once people figure that out, genuine talent will rise up, and these investors will make a shit ton of money. Until then, they get peanuts.
It's a continuing problem in the arts. Artists themselves usually find it hard to sell themselves so there will always be others to take advantage of that. I hope in this new era of Blockchains like Steem. there will be more opportunities to monetize and with cheques and balances make sure the rewards go to the right people.
