Thanks for your input. Yes i am a relatively new users but surely new users are the people steemit should want to stay.
its not just me, look at this users profile, 97 posts and a return of 17cents.

What im really trying to point out is that new users and regular users should get reward because of their skill, contribution, curation and loyalty rather than for getting attention from a whale who may not even be experienced in anything related to the post.

I completely agree with you on this one:

in the sense that many users may like your contents, upvote and still don't make a difference in the payout. That's something worth debating... after you have posts with many upvotes. The example you pointed out is the same story. No audience. Also, the 97 posts you refer include comments. She could be the best blogger in the world but unless she has followers she won't get upvoted enough.
My first goal in steemit was to get 50 followers. Than 100. Then 150. And now 200. That means I teach, entertain or help a good amount of people that are willing to upvote my content. In the beginning I was very happy with a post with 0 money as long as I got a new follower. Now I just want to have fun and not to disappoint my followers. I made a series of posts called "useless information" in which I wrote short posts about random things (mostly scientific curiosities) for 50 days in a row. I was not earning much but I got lots of followers.
Figure out a strategy of your own and be persistent.
Cheers
