I'm also brand new to Steemit and this is the very first article I'm reading this morning. Now I'm not sure what to think considering how excited I was about this program only a few days ago.

Yes, I really do feel like a small minnow surrounded by whales helping new folks figure this platform out at the bottom of their list.

If there's no built-in way to make us minnows feel somewhat welcome in this vast new sea then it's only a matter of time before the big whales will be the only ones left. Has the payout structure always been this lopsided?
