I agree. It would be nice if by putting in big effort in 1 piece of content you could get rewarded more then by posting every day low effort content, but that isnt true really. There seems to be a cap on what you can earn if you arent one of the community leaders or are influential on Steem.

That is unfortunate because it discourages high effort content and encourages posting as much as you can to collect the support from autovotes or move away from content creation into politics and making friends.
