There are many things that will curve out of existence with time. The issues we have now (centralized voting power, the flagging, multiple and unclear currencies, crypto rewards etc.) and which seem big to us will be insignificant in 2-5 years when Steemit and he environment matures.

There are main issues that are being spotted and potential solutions experimented. At the end of the day, you can't please everyone and I'm thankful that those who can do something about the issues that exist, do it, even if it hurts others on the short term. Marie Curie died for crying out loud.. and we all benefit from her findings. Let's not get butthurt for the 50$ someone else's post has reached today or every day. Things will even out with time.

Directly incentivised Social media is still a rather new thing and it touches something that is very sensitive for 99% of us: money. For now, there isn't any other SM platform out there that is paying general, anonymous users for their creations, in any nature they come and the fact that a post of ours isn't doing as great as some other's, oh well, suck it up and move on. Yes, there are some heavily supported posters at the moment, nobody can lie about that, but as you are saying, let's not cling onto 'Why the same authors get rewarded constantly and I don't'. Move on, keep at it, and what you make is what you make if that's your goal.

Everything that is happening right now with Steem(it) is at an experimental level. Our posts are experiments. The mechanisms are experimental, that's why we have so many changes, so many trials from so many people and sub-communities. I'm not saying all the rewards have been spread correctly, yes there have been and still are people who are cheating the system, but there is one thing that most of us lack: **patience**. Just have patience, and the *perfect* incentivised Social media platform will be available for us soon. Whether it is Steem, on Steemit, Busy or any other interface, whether it is any other platform out there.

Agree about the experiment stage we're in right now. But even that stage should be approached with care, IMHO, otherwise there's no use in this experiment.
