The platform logic was intentionally designed in a way that lets rewards equilibrate between the stake-weighted up- and downvotes during the life-time of a post´s payout period. It allows every member of the community to agree and disagree with the valuation of a piece of content. Collectively, this results in community approved value allocation, for me the essence of Steemit.

The fact, that community approval within Steemit results from stake-weighted opinions can be difficult to deal with for the individual, but this is what makes Steemit being Steemit.
