I totally agree with you. I think that for the health and long term growth of steemit we should encourage new users. If I see a post at $1,000 that's awesome for the poster but honestly imho almost no blog post is worth $1,000 unless the cured cancer somehow in the post so i would much rather use my limited power to reward a new creator who's doing big things and not getting noticed.

in a way i think that will help the whales and bigger guys anyways as that is good for the long term growth in the platform which will benefit them more anyhow.
