Let's take a moment and explore the psychology of everyone on Steemit that gets upset when others succeed. It's a sort of animistic envy that's most unbecoming of us and I'd like to invite everyone to rise above it if/when the urge creeps up.
Rather than complaining about the success of others, we should focus on innovating new ways and means of succeeding even more. If we let the primal want for equality trump our more rational values, we'll just end up as a broke bunch of failures together like the Soviet Union did. The whole reason people are flocking to Steemit is that it offers a way to transcend that very condition. We're here because we appreciate the ability to be rewarded for our contributions. To come here because of the potential to earn only to then complain when people do exactly that is hypocritical. If it really bothers you when people make good money here, then you might want to try Facebook or Reddit. I hear their users all earn exactly the same.
