In recent weeks there seem to have been countless posts complaining about unfair distribution of rewards etc etc etc

My view of this is:

1. Life is not fair - there has always been a few that have vastly more than the many, and this will always be the case
2. Steemit reflects life, at least in this regard, and so why should it be fair? - it shouldn't be, and no matter what changes are made, no matter the flag wars, the different initiatives, the SMTs, and whatever comes next, this is not going to change in any material way
3. If people channeled their energy into succeeding despite the issues, and I include myself in that, then I believe that most will in time succeed

Your post was written more politely, but the summary version is 'it may be fair, it may not be fair but that doesn't matter - if you don't like it, too bad, it is what it is, suck it up'

Cheers
