When Steem goes 100x every minnow (500 sp to 5000 sp) will be making $10,000 to $100,000 a year just by self upvoting. Let's see how much they complain then.

The new people who get here and put in none of the work are always going to look up and complain... just the way it is.

The real issue here is that people want to get paid by Steem but no one wants to invest in it. ALL of you red fish out there should be saving whatever you can and powering up your account while the getting is good.

Realize the value of the new paradigm... stop going out to bars... stop buying brand name items that get made in sweat shops. 95% of Americans are terrible with money. BUY BUY BUY!!!! STOP! Reject the old competitive system and embrace cooperative capitalism. You have no legs to stand on until you do.
