This post is funny man....those that have a lot of steem/steem power definitely earns more than those with less or none steem power....i think u need to watch some videos on how to make money on steemit but here is my own small advice.
Join a steemit whatsapp group and make sure you post your articles on busy.org to get free upvotes every day or better still...use the esteem app
Also try to use correct tags for your posts to get upvotes and right attention....i noticed your previous tags are not usually appropriate....check out the explore section on steemit menu to see and select appropriate tags to post your articles.
You can also participate in contests on steemit and win sbd and gain popularity....I think u are the first person to see steemit as scam tho...a bit harsh,but just for the record...steemit primary motive is not money making!
I gave you an upvote....compliments of @amec
Enjoy the rest of the day man
