I think voting power must remain tied to the steem power a user holds. the whole reason independent artists got excited about steem it is the hope that one day, after a lot of effort and work, we can be independent to the point where we can generate a base level income and them help other creators and our readership grow. also equalizing the votes will increase the spambot problems and at that point why not just pay out each post automatically?

sorry to go on a rant on your page, do you know a more a productive forum where I can discuss this?
