I hear what you are saying, but I'm new to steemit and haven't fully got my head around it. But here's my 2 cents, It's up to the individual to offer quality content for the sake of sharing quality content. If they follow that rule and don't waiver, it should be rewarded. Ignore the fluff posters, they are not participating in helpful way. If the fluff posters happen to be unjustly rewarded, it's doesn't hurt you, don't worry about it. Just continue to do the right thing. Don't let them get under your skin. Hopefully they will not become whales in the long run. If they do, then steemit will be a failure.
