Thanks for explaining this @steemed. Good content is subjective, and what I may love, you may not and vice versa. I like that anyone can determine what content should be well paid. I like the transparency of the blockchain allowing users to research exactly what is going on behind the scenes too.
Some thought that @msgivings was some sort of account that whales would vote on and just share their own profit. This seems like a far fetched plan, since you can see money transferred back and forth between accounts if that were the case.
I hope that instead of anyone being jealous of a successful writer, they are inspired to branch out and venture into new water and try their hand at writing a multitude of different content.
