After one week i spent in steemit, my observations are it is the reflection of real world. Rich become more rich powerful become more powerful. Who just born without support will almost have no chance to survive. Whales have reality of canada newbies have reality of kongo.
What i observe in these short time there are very good bloggers who has 1 upvote per post because huge majority only focus for giving post or give some upvotes for whales with small hope to get some hand. Most of the content dies in the stream.
However, how beautiful the story started; i loved the cheetah so much. I don't know if it is magic but it catches everything if you copy content from other website the time you will get caught is about seconds. As a data engineer i can say that it is a big achieved challenge.
I think they can give more chance who is newbie to introduce themselves more. Or maybe steemit again would find some other magic solution for new potentials. Otherwise in future whales might support only whales and it will become small community sharing platform.
I do not know whether you are right? but I always try to keep interesting content! the truth is I'm very far from the Whales
You are totally right. There are blog writers who is trying to find content and i respect to them. But on the other side one new blogger put a lot effort and there is nothing and one whale writes good morning and earn 100$ from it just because they enter to system more early.
