I agree with what you said (also on the post itself). I have been here for about 3 weeks. Only one of my posts flared up suddenly, but I think it got some votes from the whales. Because as mentioned earlier, sometimes I see posts with more than 100 voters but the money they made is barely 5 or 10 SBD. That post was not different in quality than others, because I wrote all of them in my personal blog and then just copied them here. It is amazing how much some people make (around 100K). I was thinking to start upvoting my followers periodically to help them and get their help, but my voting power is very weak (0.01)and it gets weaker the more I vote (which means my vote is useless). That is another problem with steemit settings and politics. Finally, I find that some people are now starting to make money by giving resteeming services (smart people), but even that doesn't really help our resteemed posts much. How about we ask the veterans to adopt few new comers and vote or resteem them periodically. This will help everyone to get more money and more motivation (since they merited to be chosen for their good posts for example). Let me know what you think

Asking for a resteem and networking is very much apart of the game. The people who are at the time have either put in the money, put in the time, know the right people, got in early, are good at what they do, are working hard in the background as a developer, or all of the above. It's not a fixed game, but it's a stake weighted game, so if you want more influence, you've got to have a stake.
If you're a beginner and you don't want to invest, you should power up all your posts for as long as it takes to get 10,000 SP. you should get yourself in with a crowd of people that can help you reach your goals. And, most importantly, you should be courteous and help people as much as you can along the way down your own path. It's no different than life.
As you are right, still the fact excist that whales upvote eachother a lot. They keep making more and more. For example. I have an article that someone upvoted. I had 7 upvotes in total with a total expected earnings of 0,19. 1 of this voters upvoted my article wrote: 'nice shot' and upvoted his own comment. He will get 1.42 sbd. So he upvotes me and 6 others but my earnings are 0,19 sbd. How is that even possible??? It is not all about hard work either. I see many post which have no valuable content or hard work in it earning much more then quality content of others. Eitherhow I like steem, but when someone comes with a better system steem will go down bcs of its unfair politics.
Thank you very much for your reply :)
Any time.
