Not to mention that sweet has some of the most amount of comment engagement on the entire platform. I upvote her because I like her content and I know from arguing with an imbecile earlier this week who also baselessly tried to defame her, that many of her followers including me stood up for her.

It's simply not the case that people only vote for her because of curation rewards. She has a genuine following and makes genuinely good content.

This davidthelad fellow refuses to acknowledge the amount of work she puts into her posts, or her contribution to Steemit over the course of the year, simply because she blogs about travel instead of runs a VM somewhere occasionally loading up scripts to check blocks are being found. (Meanwhile getting paid something like 1600 Steem a day).

His arguments are simply illogical and baseless.

You can't create a fair system where people can still trend. The very nature of trending means it is not fair to start with.

Yet, he is unwilling to accept the contrary and only solution whereby everybody is rewarded the same regardless of the quality of content.
