I think fairness is more about everyone having a chance to earn something, but they have to put in the work. If we all just get Steem then there's no incentive to work for it and the platform would go stale. Of course some people were fortunate to be in at the right time to make a lot of Steem or they decided to buy in. I know some bought when the price was much higher than now. There are issues with some people seeming to earn more than their content really deserves, but as the platform grows that may be less of an issue due to more people voting. Some of the rewards in the early days were just insane considering the size of the audience. It took me months to make anything and it's probably easier to make a few cents now. You just have to engage your audience and keep them coming back.

Tend to agree with you @steevc too many arrive expecting instant returns, not that easy. Those who arrived early grew with the platform and earned by sharing good content and growing their tribe.
Those of us who missed the bus, must work at keeping up with all the changes that have happened on the platform and new introductions of bots and extra outside assistance, too much time is trying to come to grips with just settling down and producing good content.
This is the most unusual platform in that you will go to chat groups and try establish a footing there, whereas I would imagine in the early days everyone shared and commented in here alone.
