I am a fairly new user, but when I see a post with hundreds of votes and only a few dollars compared to a post that is worth much more because I whale jumped in, it doesn't seem fair. However, I can't think of a solution that wouldn't just encourage/reward an individual having multiple accounts and spreading power between. None of the solutions I can think of really do anything but complicate Steemit by creating many more accounts without removing any power from whales.
