Steem completely depends on stake based voting. The more money you have invested and locked in SP, the more upvoting power you have. So someone with a lot of SP wanted this account to get money for this. Either they were paid, or they just have peculiar taste.

The thing about this ecosystem that might confuse new users is that Steem is the backbone and making money is never any guarantee.

It's the user interfaces (busy.org, steemit.com, d.tube, dlive.io, etc) that allow you to post to the Steem distributed "server". Hence they can choose what to display and how to give users a great social experience, but the highly invested users/their bots are the ones actually pulling the levers on what gets awarded money.

Also by virtue of having a lot of stake, they vote on "witnesses" that provide technical expertise and make sure everything gets included in the "server" itself, even if certain sites may or may not display it. Due to competition amongst these witnesses, spurred on by "wages", also paid for in the form of inflation just as with the upvotes ,absolute censorship is virtually impossible, but also some weird things can get upvoted.

The job is then for each community forming on Steem to make sure they themselves police/sort out or support what content they want to see rewarded the most. This can be done by voting counter to these posts or in the future by creating SMTs that are only awarded based on certain new criteria. It can also be done by creating a site that only displays the "better" posts and completely hides or even autodownvotes"spam".
