Agree. We might have been attracted to Steem because of the (potential of earning) money, but we will stay because of the people/community/engagement.

Thanks for this article and reminding us to not be entitled.

Yeah, unfortunately a lot of people who happened to earn a lot marketed Steem as a way to make "easy money" and that "anyone can earn". Unfortunately I think many forgot what it takes and maybe they often forgot to mention how they got their votes in case it wasn't just from natural curation. I kinda feel sorry for the people that entered with that pitch in mind and got disappointed quickly and will probably never look back and realize what they missed out on because of that.

Oh well, there's still a lot of people in the world that have not heard of Steem yet and I am hopeful people won't make the same mistakes to only mention the advantages of earning through the reward pool.
