Voices normal Steem users that several tens of thousands, almost mean nothing. Only a small group of people has a tremendous amount of power (Steem Power), and only their voices matter. The authors of the huge number of excellent articles, faced with such injustice, no longer write good articles. It does not benefit Steem community. There are people for whom the quality of the articles is not important. They create a lot of articles of useless content, in the hope of a strong voice user. Which is like winning the lottery, just bring them a lot of money. I believe in Steem. I hope that with time the situation will change. The authors of quality articles will feel the power of all Steem users.
That's true. As for now 0.63% of all users own 89% оf all steem power.
I feel that you are correct that the economics are a little broken. it is not a good sign that at such an early stage people are getting turned off.
how the product designers see the flaw and find some way to adjust the economic system.
once the follow button is working things will start to change, quality writers will have regular readers. as your readership grows so do you.
