I've been going through somewhat of a mental struggle the last couple of days when it comes down to Steem and I think I also got to a point where I somewhat feel liberated.

Nearly everyone (that isn't a major SP holder) these days is just post2mining actifit shitposts or steemmonsters reward cars shitpost abusing different tags in the process just because the system pushes toward that behavior for most smaller accounts giving more rewards compared to making actual content with some passion. Many of those posts also don't reach the linear reward curve which loses out on Curation rewards. 

The linear reward curve put so much weight on 'upvote4upvote' that is was often a waste giving upvotes to bigger guys like you or putting them on auto-upvote because there was literally no chance of getting anything back. Right now I pretty much stopped caring and just vote for content I like and people that are genuine and consistent in what they bring to the platform as long as the linear reward curve will be reached.

So yes, the big guys will do better with the current system while the small ones and those who start out will absolutely get crushed by it. I'm still not sure where it's all going but I'm looking forward to see how it all unfolds.
