Some people bought large sums of SP on the recent dip and are posting like memes and stuff upvoting their own posts thus draining the quality posts reward pool was meant to be distributed. It will get out of any control if this trend continues. Because Steemit is a community not a money-making machine. There should be a hardfork decreasing the amount of upvoting own comments and votes. I know they can create another account... though.
