I know what you mean, I also think most of the new accounts created are whale's alt accounts. Steemit somehow still works on a pyramid scheme, so whales will always be getting the biggest % go the reward pool no matter what they do or write. The main idea of "you get paid for creating good content" is not so true after all. But in my opinion is not all bad, you can still swim through whales and get some of the cake for yourself. Remember this is in beta so I think a massive change will set things in some other perspective for all, I hope so.
