The point @dantheman is that the current structure has nothing to do with fairness. Not everybody started with reputation of massive steem power. Some of us spend hours writing material that have some quality while others shoot 2 paragraphs and get a steady income.

At the end of the day, if this continues only the whales will remain—jerking each other off. There has to be some incentive for people to adopt it. some relative distribution based on quality.

Right now Steemit, has nothing to do with anarchy and everything to do with plutocracy. Whether people give their money to anarchic steemit whales or "statist" Zuckerberg, is irrelevant. People won't buy into it unless they are dollarvigilante level...
