All animals including humans will go for the easy food first rather than have to work for their meal.
Steemit accounts taking advantage of the rewards pool reminds me of the Yellow Stone Bears back in the late 1800 until 1970 when everyone fed them and they had free access to the garbage dumps. Once they closed down the dumps and didn't allow people to fed the bears many died because they didn't know how to forage for food. Let's not let steemit get that far! I think all organisms are opportunist and want that free lunch!
