I am not talking about money at all. What I am trying to say in this article is that good content is not reaching those who are interested in it.

I believe the system needs to be improved regularly to provide a better service. I mean Steemit is already great, but should that stop us from improving it continuously?
I claim that the distribution system especially needs to be improved. By distribution, I mean delivering the right content to the right people. Curation is an important factor in such a system.

• As for the effect that SP has on upvoting, you can find more info here in Steemit FAQ. You should at least read the Voting and Curating section.
