What @stellabelle said is very true , people in here seems like voting based on reps and famous author they never took their time to read new author post or others people that have low reps , people have struggle alot with this kind of pattern of voting and more . This is not about the money but remember people join steemit because of what ? The rewards that people always shouting about.
I do make some decent money once or twice a month here . After change after changes my upvote getting lower . That sad . Is my writing getting boring or my photograph getting dull you judge it , come to my blog and tell me :)

I don't see how Synereo will address the issue of people voting based on reputation and popularity of authors.
In this respect, Steemit is no different to pretty much any other industry in the world. Generally people with reputations and popularity get a disproportionate amount of the rewards compared to new entrants. The publishing and entertainment industry are built on it. For example, there are "a-list" actors that people flock to see regardless of the merits of the film.
I agree more needs to be done to ensure that quality content gets recognised and appropriately rewarded. Hwoever there will always be an element of people getting upvoted based on reputation and popularity.
It's not voting it's paying attention to. If you comment, like, forward it builds the authors amps. But the reader gets steady stream of amps from just looking at their feed or adjusting their feed. It's reader focused rather than writer focused. The valuable part of a network is the audience, synereo gets that in their design. Content is a dime a dozen, look at all the free content on the web.
Equally "paying attention" can be dime a dozen. Particularly if people are simply clicking for pay. It would be interesting to see if Synereo has the issue of people creating bots to automate forwarding, liking and comments.
My main point however is that the challenges of Synereo are completely unknown at this point.
They will have different challenges but they do have protection against bots through thier reputation score reo. As in understand if their bots all keep voting for the same person it won't help the rep and it will have the effect of trading amps between you army of bots. You could do it but you wouldn't get anywhere. Basically unless your robot had a good reputation outside your circle it it wouldn't help you. If it did have a good rep, it would. So good bots like cheetah might help but voting bots would have to vote throughout the network to earn you incremental amp.
You do click for pay but you also tune your feed to what you want. In the end time is what is valuable, if users want to read spam for money they can but they can do that now too. I don't mind paying for crypto news but I don't want cooking, car ads etc. I think their formula could work. We'll see.
Sound about right .
