Everywhere it comes with some kind of difficulty to enter into an established community. Everywhere you need to work for your returns and STEEM is no free lunch either. Post, make yourself known, be true and upright, and your success will come over TIME. Some people have a head start now, as they were working on their reputation since many months, but that does not mean, that new people have no chance. In 1 year you are the one with a head start and still new people are coming. And so on and so on. Way of life.
Are you not buying silver, because you say, nah, 10 years ago it was $5 and only then it was worthy to invest in it, because now it is too expensive? Are you not buying Bitcoin, because there is a rich-list of wealthy accounts? For sure not.
