@liberosist, thanks for putting this out there.
I was confused when i got on steemit and started reading exactly the opposite of what have been told about the platform but as it is in the real world where no one give a fuck about you,
Expecting fairness that might never come is like expecting the government to give you extra dolls for just showing up in the stadium.
As it is presently, its better to work yourself out and get some really crazy steem power then you can start gaining relevance on the platform.
