I get the whole thing about feeling over rewarded, sometimes it's a thing like circles we don't need to mention but someone that puts their deepest inner thoughts, wisdom and perspective or have a creative side is not what I consider over rewarded. Maybe during the time of bots yes there was abuse but I find now it's more balanced then it ever was as far as effort/reward ratio. Sure not all our posts are winners but a simple posts that generates tons of comments and engagement is as valuable as a long form text or great art, some one that comments all over but may not be the best posters are also just as valuable, a lot of things at play people don't take into consideration. I don't think anyone should feel guilty for the relationships they have built over the years and that counts for a lot since that's the social part of social media. Adding $$ value to that, there will always be push and pull and jealousy, it's the real world, we are the real world and haters gonna hate. Also the thing to remember, value is in the eye of the beholder (up-voters) and we all have different perspective on what is valuable.
