I'm glad you raised this issue @kyle as I've noticed it as well. Rewarding garbage posts--some of which appear to have been plagiarized or poorly translated via Google--will discourage people from posting. After all, if voting is arbitrary and has little to do with quality, what's the point of going to the trouble of posting our best writing on Steemit? I've seen ridiculous posts drawing in thousands of dollars--and beautifully written and illustrated posts rewarded with nothing more than a few votes and a couple of dollars.

We do need to disperse the power of curation and voting over many different types of users in order to fully succeed as a network. Maybe @mrron goes on to do more great things on this site that are better written and far better suited to the payouts he's receiving. I do wish him luck in the future and I hope he continues to improve both as a writer and as a person. Hopefully this article does not come off as me sounding off to attack the guy.
