two whales throwing their money around for our amusement. They both use their reputation to draw an "unfair" percentage of the reward pool.

ok, thanks for the info.... but still don't really understand how all this reputation/reward system works on Steemit.

I've only been on here for a week+. I don't understand either. You start as a 25. I'm now at 33 which, I think, makes my vote a little higher compensation than your vote, but I don't know how I earned a 33. I just write posts and upvote posts and comments I like and occasionally comment. I haven't flagged anyone's post yet because I haven't seen the point. Your posts can't be upvoted after 7 days and you're not supposed to post or comment asking people to follow or upvote you. I have a ton to learn.
