No such thing as making too much. Never sell yourself short. Just picture a busker in the subway. Would they stop if they reached their quota for the day? Would they even count the money, or would they just play? Would someone who produced a viral video know in advance their video would go viral? They'd make a lot of money. If someone went platinum on their first music release, would they say they made too much? Most of the time it's unexpected, unless you've signed a contract.
People are spreading it around. That situation is slowly improving by the day. There's always been a shortage of curators. Creating a culture of people content with earning a few tokens, getting paid to be entertained, is what this platform needs. Entertainment can be anything really, including steem posts, if that's what people like. Some of those steem posts are disingenuous though and I see where you're coming from. I've seen this happen before. A long time ago. People dropped what they came here to do just to write about Steem. The steem post market became saturated with junk. Then what happens is those who shit posts about Steem start complaining and bashing the platform, because they didn't earn. What was once a positive, history shows, will turn into a huge negative. People will get frustrated with the amount of steem related content cluttering their feeds. This cycle will have to come full circle again. Things will settle down eventually. There are some individuals who do a great job of commenting and reporting on steem and some just chasing the money. Make that money easy to get, you'll get more chasers and the quality will drop, then the people get mad. It's common sense but some folks haven't been here long enough to know what happens.
