@jlufer - firstly, you are a gentleman and I am very respectful of your contribution in many ways to steemit. The reality that the holders of the SP have made enormous gains off the content creation of people like you, Barry and myself is lost on many.
I started a new writing contest this morning 300 votes and $30 - the biggest value on any post I have ever written - not even mine! It is now at $4 because of some silly idea. 1 cent/vote is too much? Beggars in th street are treated better. Meanwhile, look at todays numbers - why are the vote values so low?
Because, I suspect, thee is a post out there somewhere with a low vote count but a HUGE amount of comment votes which we cannot see, of course!
Thee are other goings on but the mess is getting messier despite assurances to the contrary!
Saludos, senor! Un abrazo a usted.
