If everyone would think like you then things would work out in such a way that Steemit would be an awesome place to hang out. But I think we can only hope a future competitor will manage to create such a blockchain social media platform.
I can assure you that people that got in early will keep everything for their selves. None of these people will give away free Steem. So the gap will most likely never be closed.
There are good people here who do share, but some will just take the money. I'm not the only one who thinks as I do.
