Right, that's easy to say when users were in at the early stages. Think of the blogging aspect of Steemit. When you write daily and write excellent content that only gains $0.10 while someone who got in and dropped $5K in early 2016 can self vote themselves for $50, you start to see the difference on why it should be addressed. We complain when a few select users take unfair advantage of the system, but in your viewpoint this is ideal. In that case, the highest SP users that have over a million SP should constantly self vote themselves to oblivion since they don't care that your rewards are now basically gone. The whole point of Steemit is that you get paid for your time. That's what makes it so lucrative and why its grown so fast. If we take that away and have such a large discrepancy in inequality, people will be tired of the bs and leave.

For Steemit to grow we need to not only gain new users, but to retain those users and keep them engaged. Nobody wants to be on a platform where they're not appreciated and their work basically gets binned. Meanwhile, I see accounts that post the dumbest Memes and constantly get paid hundreds. It's easy to say that when you have 40k SP, but you wouldn't be so quick to do so if you had 500. We're in the early stages, but if Steem goes to $25 or even $250 then what happens? The rate of SP that new accounts gain will be so small that nobody will spend their time on here.

Nobody wants to be on a platform where the inequality is so great. That's how Steemit loses its user base and the price plummets.

Of course, this is my opinion and I'm sure that everyone will have their own say on the matter. Unfortunately though, it doesn't matter since neither you or I have the ultimate say on how this site is run.
