There is trickledown, just not in the way people expect. If people are looking for a "job" then they will be disappointed. Most jobs go to 3rd worlds where wages are low.

But if they want to be independent contractors or customers, then the opportunities are endless.

If I understand the Steemit TOS correctly, we are independent contractors here:

Nothing in these Terms is intended to nor shall create any partnership, joint venture, agency, consultancy or trusteeship, you and Steemit being with respect to one another independent contractors.

Yes it's still many people's daily "job" , as mine basically. @sweetsssj is making 2000$/day here, and things like that. Yet Steemit is it's own corporation and the owners are holding hundreds millions of dollars as it seems.

So wealth does trickle down this way.
