I am not sure what I would prefer, but I know the system will change a few times until steemit reaches a critical mass. We have to consider that at some point even steemit will be filled with people who just consume and not produce. So if steem power only goes out (by voting) and never comes back (because they do not create content or do not care to re-steem content) you condem them to just read, and they can't upvote anymore good content. At least that is how I understood this proposal. Also let's say today I see a very good musician, I give him all my 5$, and the day after I see another one. I would like to give the second one also money but I have none left. So even if he is good he will not get any money from me. With the current system it would split between both. I guess the current system is not perfect, but it is ok. Also since this is still the beta phase, people try to connect with others as fast as possible to take advantage of the fact that they are part of the first wave on this platform. You know.. follow for follow.. upvote for upvote.. I think that will even out in time.
