The harsh reality is life is not fair, and in a collective sense, humanity only needs to take a look in the mirror to see the source.
Some people's idea of fairness boggles the mind. It has nothing to do with work or quality.
To take it a step further, some people put effort into quality content on platforms like Facebook and make nothing.
I think the major idea is that most people can't get their actual friends and family over here from Facebook, so they feel like they deserve something out of any effort they apply here. If it wasn't for rewards, they'd be gone.
I appreciate the substantive reply!

I love psychology, and I agree that the fairness concept has nothing to do with work or quality. I mentioned to someone earlier here that I've been in contemplation about hierarchies and the nature of reality. Specifically human nature, and comparisons between intelligent organisms vs non-intelligent, or at least what we perceive as non intelligent. I won't get into it much here, but I'm thinking about composing a post on the topic.
I think that is accurate, but many are on a mission to earn rewards regardless of who they can onboard, and I have seen some people come and go that really had no clue just how good they were doing here. 10-20 dollar posts in no time, and saying they felt their content was worth at least 50 dollars a post or it wasn't worth their time.. ok.. Did you make that kind of money somewhere else blogging to justify your deluded perception of what you "think" your time is worth? And are you considering what that Steem could potentially be worth in the future? Just my frame of thinking, sense of entitlement is rampant everywhere.
Thank you for the engage tokens @joshman, that was really kind. How does that command operate? It prompts a token transfer basically? I checked out the token on SE, and Asher's engagement league is super motivating, so this would certainly be a good way to support the project as I see it.
EDIT: No need for explanation, I read this awesome post.
