@venuspcs you and I started on steemit around the same time.   I believe we both started with steem power of 10.  
I have made 1326 posts (most comments, replies, etc) and I now have 625 steem power and I've been here almost a month.   I consider that a pretty good return.    I haven't landed the massive posts, that pay big payouts.   That is not solely why I am here.

You (whom I have been following since before following worked) have posted 558 posts on your @venuspcs account and yes you get a lot more votes than I do.  I am actually fine with that.  I up vote a lot of your stuff.   You have been on the trending page at least once, if not several times, and you've had multiple posts break $1000.   I think I cleared $300 on a post once.    Sure the majority of your posts don't make much.   ALL of them make something.   I have posts that I worked hard on that made $0.00, and I have many well below $1.    I am not complaining about that.  ***I am making something in a field of endeavor where previously I made nothing (reddit, forums, etc).***   So your description is not entirely accurate based upon the numbers.

Though I will continue to follow your work as I enjoy quite a bit of your stuff.

Ultimately how much someone else is making on their post is not my concern.   It is the fact that I do have the opportunity to make something.    A vote worth $0.00 means something to me.   A vote worth $0.01 means something to me.   A vote worth $100.00 certainly excites me and makes me happy.   Yet that is not what it is about.

If you look at how much you've made in a month with your now 4700 steem power, you asked us the other day if you should quit trucking.   If you continue to do that well, you probably safely could, yet that is still your decision.

I post a lot... that doesn't mean people view the quality of my posts as being worthy of votes and money.   I am long winded and opinionated.    So are you, but ***your posts are a hell of a lot more amusing and entertaining than mine.  :)   So I think you deserve more money than me.***   That is my opinion.    Guess what?   It is working you've gone from 10 steem power to 4700 steem power in the same time I've gone from 10 to 625.   Most of my earnings have been reinvested into steem power.   I didn't really dig to see if that is also the case with you.

I am pretty satisfied with the system except for the negative perception that a big flag/down vote can have on the perceived earnings of a person simply because someone disagreed.    I KNOW that the vast amount of the population will not understand that and it will be viewed as an attack.    I'd like to see the steem platform grow, and I'd like to see it crush reddit, youtube, etc and tons of other steem blockchain apps, sites, etc born.   It is  a revolutionary moment.    Yet perception DOES matter, so whether we think that people should be able to negate something and take perceived money away is acceptable or not DOES NOT change the perception of the masses.   We have some opportunities.   ***Do we leave it as it is and LIVE with that fact and take it as a mind changing, educational opportunity and just prepare for the "shit storm" (sorry was fitting) that will happen as more and more of the typical people join"?   Or do we do something to make it work yet head off some of those perceptions?***   It is kind of a catch-22.   If we educate people it will be harsh but would likely in the long term lead to a better world, if we "fix" it to promote PR better we grow the platform much faster yet we miss out on an educational mind awakening opportunity.

If the desire is to grow the platform fast then I'd say fix the issue with perception around funds.   If the desire is to long term make the world better and we are willing to wade through the flak and take a bit longer getting there then you could leave it as it is.

I do not advocate redistribution, or nerfing the reason to accumulate steem power.   Getting better payout is a big reason to increase steem power.   Increasing steem power locks the funds into the system and makes then much slower to get at (reduces liquidity) but also protects the system from being killed by people suddenly pulling all of their funds.   It makes it far more difficult for people to game the currency.
