I think you are right that as of right now there is an unfair balance to those who have been here in the very beginning and now hold a lot of steem power. This post is a good example with 26 votes at the time of this reply and only making $0.50 and then I will see other posts where less votes and the will have over $10 or even $100. So this is a frustrating point I think. However I do understand the idea of  peple who have been around longer may know better what is good content or not its just are they going to be Curating also enough.
