RE: Why did a post telling people to report bugs make 3,000 USD in upvotes and my actual post about a legitimate security issue that the developers directly thanked me get less than 100 USD?
I think it's a real problem. I mean are people really getting "more value" from Kim than scientists? Are people really getting more value from clickbaits than actual important articles? No, they're not. Those articles/celebrities and whatever else are getting paid a disproportionate amount for the amount of value they add.
Sure, it's like this in all of society, not just on Steemit. But then before Steem, social media sites did not pay any content creators or curators at all. That was the norm. But Steem saw a problem in that, and tries to fix it. Similarly, I believe as intelligent creatures, we can find a solution that will make things more fair.
It depends on the people. Some people get more value from whatever they get more value from. Science doesn't reach everyone at the same time. It's like with life extension but where the drugs are too expensive for anyone who isn't already rich in dollars. Certain technologies benefit very wealthy people first.
