This truly answer a bunch of questions for newbies. But becouse of that, Steemit has a huge problem to face:

1. The more Steem Power a user gets, the less incentive to make quality content.
2. The less Steem Power a user have, more incentive to make quality content, but, the less (almost no) chance of getting reward for its effort.
3. The more Steem Power a user have, the more comments he will get.
4. The less Steem Power a user have, the more comments he will make on big accounts.

So basiclly, Steemit incentives are not alligned into making valuable content, but in acummulating power.

How are they going to fix this? Of course, im not generalizing, amazing content is being created by whales... but... LOTS of shit is created becouse of this reason.

Just some thougths... cheers!
