Yes MANY people would agree with this.
I would also add that a MAJOR problem with the voting system I see, is that to get significant curation rewards one must UPpvote the content that "is going to bank" so this encourages people to either strictly use their votes for "proven" money makers or use non full power votes on other content.
I have had posts with 150 votes worth under $2.
So this means people UPvote accounts that are every day making 100's or 1,000's of dollars to get curation rewards. I see people upvoting not only content they haven't read but content they don't even care for.
This keeps exposure and adequate compensation from reaching lots of quality content.

Though, while there are problems there are also solutions.
One is that we can compose unique content here in Steemit and promote these articles all over the Internet. This not only brings in more support for us here in Steemit, but also lets the world know about Steemit and that diverse and interesting content is here.
We can also commit to UPvoting and sharing/supporting the content we really do find valuable, despite the regular $$$ of the account postings.
I do see groups forming and friendships being made. Lots of this is with "schools of minnows" and some "dolphins" and because these accounts don't have much SP relative to whales, they still don't have to much influence, BUT every day we are growing, indavidualy and as groups.
Great things take time~*~
