Steemit is like the debate that goes on every year about the all-star voting in professional sports. Most times, the assembled teams are made up of the most popular players and not the one's who are having great seasons and earning accolades. The leagues argue it's all about what the fans want, the players mostly want the ones that have earned it by their performance. I don't necessarily believe what I commented is the best way to go, but something to think about when voting, which is about to become pretty important.
