Is this bad? Is it wrong? Is any of this Fair? Should it change?
No, to all of them the answer is No. It is just how things work.

It is the way things work, but that doesn't mean it's right. Or that it shouldn't change, IMO. I mean, of course people get depressed when they get that 6 cents and I don't think it's an entitlement issue, but purely about fairness. I mean, why does my post on which I worked for 2 hours get under 10 cents when other people get tens of dollars for posting the same content or shitposting? Simply because they're old users or that they once earned someone's appreciation?

That's not right. I mean, that right there is entitlement, not the 2 cent guy, but the same big folks who get the same good rewards regardless if they post quality or crap. And that should change, because it's a rigged system and why would new people invest time and effort in something they perceive as rigged?

It's a mouse on the wheel situation. Because I, as a new creator come on this platform and see how much money the trending posts are making. And I think man, if I work hard I can acheive that. But that's not true. because those folks on trending (the posts that aren't pumped with bots) are on rich people's auto-voters and as long as they continue posting, they will continue being on those voters, even if their posts are shit. So the new user, who was willing to work and try and make it up there eventually gives up.

So, I think that should change. That it would be beneficial for the platform for it to change.

And it's not just about manual curating. I mean, sure, there are big accounts that do employ manual curators and that actually help small accounts. And that's great, it's really encouraging. And I think the good part about those accounts is that they don't focus on the same 10 people, as most accounts here do. It's more equal opportunity.

Should some Steemians focus in being Content consumers and leave meaningful comments in other Steemians content?

Excellent question. I really do look forward to the next two parts. Hmm I think it depends on whether the person feels they have something to say and if they feel that something is worthwhile, you know?
