I couldn't agree more with what you've said. When starting social media in general, it takes a long time to gain followers. It is the same to #hive as well. People tend to vote those who have existed long in the platform rather than the newer ones (with few exception and outliers).
That is why I have a long-term perspective in #hive. I started with few support from the community. It takes awhile of consistent posting and engagement when I reached an audience that support my content. I did it even the support is low. And, I think it is the important lesson for newbies. Be persistent and consistent.
