I partially agree with you... but don't forget...

• we are still in beta (they are still trying to figure out how to improve the user experience here)
• the voting power get wide distributed better as time pasts.
• It's still better than facebook reddit etc. where you are geting NOTHING
• Your content stays forever in the blockchain so practically no way to censorship your content.
• Some of your good content can still be discovered!
• If you want to boost a little bit your content you can Power Up a bit...And vote up your content like I did with my reply to you to be sure it get noticed!
• You can have the feed from authors you like, nobody will force you to read stuff from authors you dislike (mute them)
• You are not spammed with advertisements and banners
• You can use the platform to make transactions without fees!
• Get 10% interest on your Steem Dollars
• Use very interesting 3rd party tools based on steem http://steemtools.com/
• And many more futures to come!
• Lastly you can wait for steemit forks and see if they fit more with your expectations.

The changes are constant here! Nothing stays the same! Everything will get better and better since all changes are based on user feedback (there is not better proof about that then the 14 hardforks in about 4 months!!!)
You should check github more often to realize how the developers struggle each day, to find solutions on problems with the help/feedback from our community, to increase the user experience on steemit! And believe me they get also feedback via post's like yours today... everyday...
