Well, that's what the signs seem to indicate, and it's not a bad thing at all. As for myself, I'm pretty satisfied with my rewards (steem price an entirely different matter), though I have to acknowledge it's also the result of long time, hard work, relentless persistence, and not lastly a supportive community, which of course I had to find first. But for newcomers I stand firmly behind my message: good posts do get rewarded, and regular presence even more so.
