I'm fairly new to Steemit and am wonder, is Steemit favoring those who are rich? My point is I have had posts that are nearly Identical in "likes" and the post that has more comments gets less revenue.... Is this the way Steemit is supposed to function? (See picture below)
If this is the case, this reminds me of the banking system, giving a small amount of power to those on the very tip top (see the picture below). In my opinion, those who are posting content are catering to those who have the highest value, not the overall audience, causing a lot of content in one area and not much in the other.
*Note the Blue and Pink are whales (I believe), and the others are listed

Regardless of this, I love steemit and will continue to vote. What do you think, is steemit setup the correct way or should the algorithm change?
