> Of course not every user will get a huge payout - BUT EVERY USER CAN!

Disagreed. The equality of opportunity was given back in summer 2016 when a hundred of people where sharing their content on steemit.com. As you can see studying the above mentioned numbers, only 0,23% of the users decide what's valuable and what's not. That's not representative at all. I created a test account by myself a few months ago just to see how it works when you start from zero again. It's amazingly frustrating. The design of the page makes your content just disappear.

I have no idea what Steemit Inc is planning to do with their stake. There is no official information on that, so I won't speculate about it either.

I know people who joined weeks ago without any connections and have gotten three digit payouts without using boosters - so it is possible. I didn't say it is easy. But I don't think it should be easy.

I wasn't speculating about what they do with their SP. It's a fact that it hasn't been used for voting in the recent past. As far as I can see, their main stake is used for delegations to new registrations and projects they want to support. 

- @steemit: 55,000,000 STEEM - not voted recently at all
- @steemit2: 3,400,000 STEEM - not voted recently at all
- @misterdelegation: 16,500,000 STEEM - over 2/3 delegated away, not voted recently 

Of course you may be right about the distribution. But as the power is used at the moment, way more than 0,23% of all the users decide whats valuable and what is not.

Even more reasons to redistribute power! Parked VP doesn't serve anybody.

Actually it does serve everybody since it makes their voices relatively stronger when it comes down to deciding who gets which part of the reward pool.

Do you expect STINC to just airdrop their parked VP?
