It's been a while since i voted a post with more than a dollar on it.

Funny how my "shitpost" became one of my best in 2019 though. It feels really cool actually, and I obivously appreciate your support. :)
What did you think of the n2 once the whale experiment stopped abuse of it?
Honestly speaking, I think STEEM has been "unfair" since Day 1. In some way, it has always had this "the rich gets richer" type of feeling. None of the changes or HardForks has successfully "closed the gap" between rich and poor in my opinion, and that's a gap we need to cover.
When I first joined, in July 2016, I got 100% votes from Dan for instance. I didn't get them frequently, but I did get a handful of votes from powerful whales out there. Truth to be told, if that never had happened, I would probably not have stayed.
Many of my former co-workers and friends gave up on STEEM very quickly due to the lack of support. Steem was basically called a lottery. You had to be lucky to reach any decent payouts.
Nowadays, you don't need support from anyone else. You can be a "lone survivor", without any form of interaction or engagement and still rake in tons of profit, as long as you produce some sort of content, because you can buy your way to the top.
I personally, would probably prefer how it was in the early days. Not because I got lucky and scored some really big and juicy votes, but due to the fact that people were active. People engaged, no matter the size of their wallet. Nowadays, it's rare to see a whale or an orca engage. Updates and how STEEM has developed with time has contributed to people being inactive, which ultimately takes away the entire purpose with a "social platform".
I hope that gives you an answer for your question, even though I didn't directly answered your question. lol
Proof of wallet or proof of brain?
At least before pow we had some chance of getting rewarded based on content.
