Someone with a “lack mentality” will most likely not understand how to become wealthy in the first place. So instead of using leverage - social in the form of networking and making friends with influential people, financial - creating multiple streams of income, most of them ideally passive, and value-based - offering something that adds value to people’s lives, they chase miniscule active income.

Posts like yours are great because they educate. And that’s what can possibly change the lacker’s behavior.

Alas, in my short time on Steemit, I’ve seen lots of posts about the abuse of the reward pool or posts, that in my opinion, are not so amazing yet they have loads of upvotes!

So the best one can do IMO, is to make the best of what Steemit has to offer for yourself by sharing the best you got and educate on issues like the one you addressed.

Nothing is perfect, neither is Steemit, but what I like about it is that it evolves organically. And that means that it reflects the current overall level of consciousness of all the Steemians, the good, the bad, the mediocre.
