When you say users pay other users, you are wrong.
You do not pay anyone from your balance.
It's only generated based on your steem power.
You get paid based on the quality of your content.
Sure it's your upvote and you can upvote for any reason but that is not the purpose of Steemit...
I hope you are getting my point here..

Some users pay directly from their wallet to others. But you're right, most do not. Users decide who deserves to earn.
