Look this is the same situation that keeps coming up. Is this system fair. And the simple answer is no it is not. It is not actually based on anything other than someone who has lots of steempower voting on your content. That is completely subjective and centralized and goes against every principle of cryptocurrency. They need to create a true democratic system. Yes the down voting by haters is something that you can not stop but there may be ways to monitor abusers through an algorithm. But the core of the problem is that the entire system is not fair and democratic it is setup to benefit those who were here in the test phase as they now hold the majority of the steempower and its rate of increase will always be faster than others can equal that amount unless you want to invest millions of dollars. As I have said before I love steem and steemit I just think it needs to be reformed to be more fair if they want to see people taking to it otherwise someone will come and make a better system and we will all just go to that instead.
