You have a very good point. Right now it's a completely open market. One that rewards meritocracy, but like in the real world, some people are simply not as privileged.
A good analogy is government. Right now, Steemit is completely capitalist, very right wing. But that doesn't work and only leads to gross inequality and suffering for the less privileged. Which is where the government steps in.
Like in government, I hope over time, I hope a balance is found. Benefits for the new users with great content. Things like that.
