It's not so much the deserving post issue so much as the community knowingly padding the pockets of the author when we all know full well that that idea simply put isn't worth (in my opinion) what it's payout is.

I don't want this to come off as a witch hunt. It's not. I've mad respect for the author for his work on STEEM. However I think we're seeing some heavy sheep mentality and ultimately it's people upvoting on these posts for percieved curation rewards rather than actual content
