You can't compare steemit with the platforms I propose:
Narrative, uptrennd, publish0x all work in a similar way the vote value is relatively something, to be able to be trending with content and votes of a group, and to make them trending, in publish0x the vote of each user is of 0.01$.
In steemit this strategy is not possible, to be trending you must have a publication greater than 5 usd, or tokens for a trybu, which means investment, and very high, with votes does not reach 5 usd, to be trending in steemit is difficult, before you bought votes, now you get negative, flag for trying to promote your publication (by the way now criticize the quality of the publication if you use bot service...), to receive a high vote in steemit is a matter of luck or connections with curators some function as a kind of mafia.
