100% agree with you here... Still, i bet many people complaining are newbies, and thats something we should expect to happen, this post should be pinned in steemit LOL ...

I just remember when i won week 54 and i received the price, i was so surprised because i totally forgot there was such a big price, i was just focused on playing week after week and enjoying the community, and was totally happy with the 2-3 SBD i usually earned on the posts, it was much more than i ever earned on youtube or instagram or facebook or whatever...

People that will engage with the community regardless the money, is the people that will stay longer around and will success in steemit in the long term, many more will quickly quit and soon or later will regret quitting when openmic and steemit becomes totally mainstream...
