In the end people are free to vote the way they want: for the content, for the author, for the curation reward, for supporting their friends, you name it.

Even if I understand that one can feel puzzled by some enormous amount gained with only one post, we should somehow put things into context.

Imho, the only thing that really matters is whether or not this platform will grow. Facebook reached 1 Billion daily active users without paying anyone. You already have 6 dollars (3 directly ni your pocket) with this post. Isn't that great ?!

If this platform scales, then the core team will have to deal with the 'fairness issue', if people keep complaining. On the contrary of some people, I see people complaints as an interesting indicator to see the friction points.

If they don't other people will come and duplicate the sourcecode and bootstrapp another plateform with other economic distribution. But let's not rush, this is an experiment, and I don't think that the distribution is the main issue right now.
