I do agree with you to some degree. If I take reddit as the example, where each vote counts equally, the over curation system seems to work really well with great content on the front page.

Of course, playing devils advocate, The people that consistently curate great content should get a further incentive to do so. So that the content that gets to the top is the best content.

Basically, the current system is a good system in theory, but the current implementation seems to lead to a 'rich mans world'. Maybe a solution should be that a portion of the payout should be given equally to all voters and a portion given out dependent on the Steem Power the voters have.
