Im no economic expert, but to me its always the same dynamic with capitalist economy .

The more money one have, the more power he has to make more money, to get more power, to get more money.

And there is never much direct economic gain to share it with others.

If you are in for direct short term profits, it will always tend to works in that maner, get more money, to make more profits.

The richer you are, the richer you get, on the work of others peoples :)

Thats a bit marxism for dummies lol

Work never pay as much as investment and capital management.

And all profits always tend to get centralized with liberal capitalist economy.

There is very little way to get around this without setting some rules about redistribution.

Economic profits are not favorizing work that much over roi and richer get richer schemes.

Hopefully not everyone is into getting richer and richer by roi, because anyway its not sustainable.

As far as im concerned as long as it allow intersting posts to come up and remain at least closebenought to a concept of curation its not too bad.

If it start to become blogs are just pretext for circle voting to make profits for top whales, it can be more concerning for the future, or then needs another rating system detached from profits.
