What a brave post and even @dan upvoted it! Really comprehensive, I'm not technical so thank you for making a topic like this easy for someone like me to understand.

are the true content creators getting the fair share of profits. Or are they still struggling and wished that they would have joined this platform earlier

I do give credit to those who were here early. They deserve the value they have now because that's how investment works and pays. But yes, I feel that I'm here late. It's just difficult to get noticed now. They say "content is king" but what I see is "bid bots are king". It's sad. :( I still hope the powerful people here do something to improve it.
