I have to start out by saying that I wasn't always this cynical about Steemit till the last few months.  When I first started posting on Steemit I was full of optimism and hope that it will bring me opportunities to make some extra cash.  It was ok at first but then I started noticing the payouts were getting smaller and smaller week by week and I didn't know why.

After doing some digging around and some fact checking it turns out that  "whales" and "dolphines" were all voting for one another.
