That last sentence is something I completely agree on, and something I tried to make explicit in this post. Those who invest most should get the highest rewards, so good for you, I sincerely wish you all the best!
I must admit that I had to deal with some envy earlier on in my steemit carreer (I came in right before the makeup vid). I even wrote about some of these negative feelings and how when they become very rampant in the community it might hurt the ecosystem as a whole. At this point in time, however, I feel that it can work in the long run. If people talk about the things that are interesting to them, they are bound to find their peers. And as there are more and more people with more voting power, the rewards for such posts will go up over time.
Overall, I'm no longer concerned about how much money a post will make, I just want to voice my ideas and try to offer my own unique perspective.
