While I don't agree with your thoughts or analogy of how Steemit works, everyone is free to have their own opinions.
Negativity is often not received well in the real world and of course here on Steemit, try to be positive, things won't happen overnight, it will take time and effort, buy hey is there another social media platform that even offers an opportunity to earn.
Does Facebook offer you a chance to earn...no, or Twitter...no, Instagram...no.
So why give up on something that could? You will get there but you must have some patience.
