RE: steemit is not a meritocracy
Not really. Steemit presents itself as a meritocracy - fair enough.
Butnot based on talent but based on the value individuals hope to extract from your post. That might pleasure of reading content, or in creating a bullish environment to protect your SP holdings.
Hence why a famous person may attract more upvotes.
I consider that a benefit for the good of steemit but not for the individual. There needs to be balance between the two: without one, the other cannot survive.
