Point taken. I still strongly think that there should be a graduated increase in voting power (up to a limit) based on the about of Steempower held, but to your point it would be good if a way could be found to give people holding zero (or very little) steempower a small bit of voting power (this would be for rewarding bloggers, but not for getting curation rewards). The problem is this typically opens the platform up to spam.

I would be great if a post could continually received payment, with no time limit, but don't know how they can work that would technically. I think for now Steem could concentrate on attracting, not the major utube stars, but the regular folks who are currently not really earning on other media platforms. This will start getting the buzz going while they workout the economics for the people who need to use the platform to generate major income.
