Steemit- "Insider Trading" myth or fact

This is something I have thought about. This is not a traditional market place. Nor has it been presented as such. However, what drew me to steemit, is what now pulling me away. One of the first posts I read; was touching in that one of the whales donated steem. To a homeless man. Which was so awesome. To see a member giving back, And how this platform can empower those in 3rd world countries. and further the empowerment of women. I love this stuff. Stick it to the man. A place were the common can rise, above their circumstances. Well that was my hope and prayer.

However, now after a weeks of reading and watching voting . I see patterns, which defy logic. A new member joins and 3 hour later she . he or it. Has earned steem and the power to go with it. It's like an IPO that some how you missed. Or more like the blackbox electronic trading. A mystery fit for Kojak, but truly the case would be more intuned by the like's of Harry Potter and his gang.

Its just simply seems some are the chosen ones before they even hit the post button. I hope Im wrong. I hope it's just me being frustrated with the time I've invested.
