No, Steemit won't be the exception to the rich getting richer, my friend. You get in what you put in - and that's the natural flow of life. It's the market. Free market principles apply to everything except maybe your hurt feelings. You've just proven why socialism doesn't work. In that type of economy or societal ecosystem, your attitude gets "rewarded." By "rewarded," I mean you get to continue to be mediocre. It's downhill from that point. You can pretend to get things for "free;" you can pretend that you followed the path of righteousness that allowed everyone to get a piece of the pie, and you can pretend that innovators are nothing more than part of the evil 1%. Your slave masters want you to have the attitudes that you hold: it makes it a whole lot easier when the inflatable life preserver you're wearing pops, causing you to sink.

Steemit is exciting. Stop being a killjoy.
