There are no easy answers to this @abh12345... perhaps the thing we — and folks in general — forget it that there are many different reasons why people come to Steemit, and somehow we have to figure out a way for them to live side by side, if this community is to grow and thrive.
Some people just want to blog and create content, some are here "only for the money" and some are developers who really don't care about the "social bits."
I also think many see this as a "money for nothing" scheme, and it's not. A lot of the people who are reaping large rewards have "skin in the game." Lots of little redfish and minnows with stars in their eyes have nothing in the game and still expect to be well compensated for what often amounts to substandard content.
"Money for nothing" is an old game on the web; it has been around since the first "get paid to write" site launched in 1999.
All we can do is support what we believe in; I believe in the rise of "community oriented" witnesses and people who self-organize into communities where the members help each other.

Indeed. Your content has to be exceptional to earn well if you are not friends with a whale. Dtube/utopian can reward like whales and I think this is a good direction to take if it rewards you seek.
Good point regarding the community focused witnesses, I'm trying 😊
