I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of how Steem should work. It's just like in life, don't forget where you came from. I've just recently starting getting something decent for an upvote, although it's still very low, it's much better than the .01 I had for so long. I have spread a few 100%'s around to different people that have been following and helping me out these past few months. I will continue to do so, adding in other active members because, well because it's just the right thing to do and it helps out the whole community.
