I would only get significant payouts if I wrote something positive for their aspirations (which jl777 did), as you did trying to make constructive suggestions for improvement.
If I wrote my true analysis per what I've written in this thread, I would probably receive numerous down votes from whales.
Do y'all want me to write my true thoughts just to prove that Steemit is a circle-jerk weighting system?
I probably should do it right, so as to show them that their system is downvoting dissenting opinions and thus implicating the system is a circle-jerk, and not an information resource akin to Reddit.
