I been asking myself the same type of questions from the very beginning. Though I’ve only been here for two weeks and have not completely fully digested how this platform works or what it is that makes it tick I’ve used plenty of other platforms and it seems to be that the way its algorithm works is not so different from other social network and relational sites. The way i see it Steemit except for a few features like the power voting has done nothing extraordinary. The way the algorithm puts people incontact to one another based on points of common interest using wording from the comments and profile description and just any other data from the users profile is nothing new. What i am trying to say is that what they are selling is not so innovative as they would like one to think, just like apple trying to sell a new phone every year when it is the exact same one with a different screen saver. But one thing is for sure, there is a selected few making a killing and still they are not satisfied . It is very unnerving to read a post from someone who can hardly write make more than others who actually have talent and intelligence. It might be the law of market demand, meaning; the market demands garbage and cosumnes garbage and if you give it anything other then it will just through it on your face and then ask for more GARBAGE. That in essence I think is the root problem, and it'll be hard to fix, cause you can fix the pleb.
