This is fucking life, sometimes this shit happens, I actually don't want Steemit to change it's payout system any further than this because it's nice and stable. If you really feel that strongly about it I think voting guilds are a viable way of balancing this out, support guilds like Curie and your upvotes will go to good content creators.

I know this isn't what you're saying but I really don't like any idea of a suggestion that might entail moderation of how payouts are managed or what content gets the most attention.
