I think you've hit the nail on the head, @nicnas. Unlike other platforms where people do stuff for free and the geek factor, here it seems to be all about how much money they can mine out of the system with 'first-movers' advantage. They don't want to help others as that would mean reducing their own chances for cornering the app market (which due to the nature of steem means even free apps can generate good income).

I don't think that is the case. I have only been here on steemit for a week and a day. I have seen a lot of Oh-Woh is me drama directed toward the people that have been here from the beginning, and I have seen the "Old Timers" bending over backward to help people. As @ned pointed out, there are apps available. Someone built those apps. Those apps that have been out for awhile, most likely had a lot less Documentation available to help those developers than what is available now. Also, those early app developers had a much smaller knowledge base to ask questions of. My conclusion to seeing this thread is sour grapes. Never the less I have upvoted it, because I believe it is a sour grape thread, of someone wanting votes and attention. Just my view.
