If the current payout distribution model bothers you, ignore it. Maybe it will be adjusted based on user feedback in the future.

If you want to provide feedback, then you must speak, hence not ignore it ;) Just wanted to point out that contradiction there :D

I have also alluded to the unrealistic expectations driven by comparative assessments with other posts. They excpect something to happen that doesn't, and keep seeing other people make more than them, even if they have better work. This creates disillusionment and feeling disenfranchised, so they don't want to stay. If Steemit was more correctly explained in how it works, this psychological factor would be greatly mitigated. Popularity wins out more than quality, and many people openly advocate for such a promotional direction in the future.
