You're right. But for example for steemians like me upvoting my post (it's 60 cents) sometimes is the only way to get at least a tiny reward. I don't use bots, most of my posts are 2-3$ at reward pool, and not that I pretend on high rewards, but it seemed to me much more fair at the beginning, while all content was less or more same level (no one yet thought about stealing and spamming), and the rewards were also more or less equable, really depending on the content quality. It's really frustrating when you try to do your best as hard as you can and with no result at all or only with a tiny one
