I get what you mean and I've also been frustrated by Steem in the past and I still get frustrated sometimes but it's up to us to change what we don't like. Steem could be better. What do you think should be done? Have you read Steem's whitepaper? Do you understand how Steem works? You should use bot to give more visibility to your posts if you think they deserve more visibility and rewards. Also because someone is publishing the best post doesn't mean they will get the most reward. That's not how it works nowhere on the internet and Steem isn't an exception. If no one see your post then they will flop no matter how good they are. And also I don't personally care about politics because I know what it is, it's political theater orchestrated to mislead us. Nothing good will ever come out of centralized government and they need are will be totally reformed influence by the power of cryptocurrency. That's one subject I want to read about how decentralization is undermining the power of governments. Someone with a 1$ upvote on Steem shouldn't expect the same support as someone with a 1,000$ upvote and that's part of Steem. Steem was originally designed in a very different way than it is today and I tend to think the 2^n curve made more sense than the current design. And if you don't bid on bid bots others will. https://steembottracker.com/

Hey buddy, I think what could be done has to do with limiting posts rewards basing it on how many characters are in the blog post or how long the article is. Which would encourage people to put more work into their posts. I don't have the time to play with Steemit bots, I do so many different things and I am constantly working. I don't have time to day trade cryptocurrency let alone sit and bid on a bot. My time is spent writing for Activist Post, Coinivore, Steemit or various other volunteering that I do such as helping create onG.Social or helping run CEEK's ICO. www.ceek.io In regards to this series, it comes from a whistleblower and after everyone complaining about Wall St fraud this is direct evidence of it. If the bad guys get control of making laws they will aid their friends on Wall St what we are looking at is a bigger crash then 2008 deregulating Wall St again. I am a well-known journalist I wrote for www.wearechange.org during the election and now I am writing for Activist Post. So maybe it's self-entitlement but yes I feel I deserve the same support as someone with a $1,000 upvote. Especially since I am putting out original content, my work is influential and I am one of the best researchers out there digging up documents etc. Further, I am putting in mass amounts of hours to produce this content working my ass off. So seeing quality work like mine not rewarded more is a bit depressing when I put my heart, soul , blood sweat and tears into my articles. Independent journalists are being threatened by Google and Amazon's adpocalypse and continue having their careers and livelihoods destroyed. Activist Post is being eaten alive having its fundinng cut due to this and our traffic is way way down.. I am not sure what the original model of Steemit was but as this is still a beta I think we have awhile to go to fix the problems. In the future I may consider paying someone to bid on bid bots for my posts LOL.

I'd love it if all of the best content was the most rewarded but that's not exactly how Steem works. I think it use to do better with the previous reward algorithm. We aren't arguing about the fact your posts might be more worthy than some posts that are making more. The bid bots aren't so time demanding and can be quite a good tool even more so if you spend so much time on your posts and I know you are. I'm not in favor of such a limit on post because that would limit the amount of money people would want to invest in Steem and thus that could curtail the price increase of Steem which is the most important thing for the platform and thus everyone.

I agree with @teamsteem, payout limits based on article length or any other subjective criteria goes against what Steemit stands for. There are indeed lots of problems with Steemit paying out to the least productive members of the community (just go take a look in the NSFW section where people are raking it in just copy-pasting porno .gifs they've stolen off the internet) but complaining because people aren't giving you the votes -- and the money -- you think you're entitled to quite frankly makes you sound a little like the politico-scum you're working so hard to expose. I'll be following you as much as I can from now on and doing my best to support your work (and that of others like you, recommended by suzi3d), so please cheer up: it may take time (like you said, this is still a beta version), but things will sort themselves out, I'm sure. Oh, and another tip: go easy on the resteems. When I look at your blog I have to look quite hard to find anything written by you. I understand you want to support other good journalists, but when I come to your blog, I want to read stuff written by you, not by other journalists...
