Thanks for your input. Yes i am a relatively new users but surely new users are the people steemit should want to stay.
its not just me, look at this users profile, 97 posts and a return of 17cents.

What im really trying to point out is that new users and regular users should get reward because of their skill, contribution, curation and loyalty rather than for getting attention from a whale who may not even be experienced in anything related to the post.
