I agree with all of the response here as it is written. But I can still totally see how it creates an unpleasant user experience, and that most don't want to participate in a curation game with up and downvotes and the need to please stakeholders, but instead just want simple guidelines for what it takes to earn rewards and make useful contributions to grow Steem.

At the end of the day, it will all come down to whether or not Steem Power holders allocates their upvotes and downvotes to create and foster a more attractive platform for users to join and become a part of. Let's make the most of the opportunity to do so.
