I find steemit a bit ''stiff'' and too rigid in its rules for someone who may just want to run a blog like we used to do with medium. Why should I power up to be able to post as much as I like?? Its like paying to be able to blog. The earning are not that great also and with the advent of bots upvoting posts, it seems like the system is not fair as the content is not upvoted on merit.

Old story here, but yeah the new RC system is not so fair, it looks like it is good just for the whales, so they can play around the network without the bother of the small/new users

True, not everyone is a whale and not everyone has funds laying around that they can use to power their account so that their content can be seen and earn. Content should not need to be backed by money but rather good content should be rated/upvoted according to merit. The current set up seems like a pyramid scheme!

I don't agree. There's lots of curators that look for good content and upvote it. Lots of people delegate their steem power to new contributors too. It can be hard to get noticed at first but keep making good content and you will be. Interacting with the community helps as well.
