Upvoted, but on the other hand I don't want to be too critical of minnows.
Those of us with $1000 of Steem or more may be committed to the platform, it is hard to expect someone with $10 worth of Steem to be. I like "Ask not what your country can do for you, rather what you can do for your country." in our case, because Steem is not a centralized state, it really is a decentralized community, and commitment to the network benefits everyone with a significant investment. But still, most minnows do not have a significant investment.
To become invested in the first place, you will have to either put money in, or do work that larger stakeholders find worth rewarding. It is a kind of tiered society, where it takes work, money or existing social capital to break your way in.
When you have broken in, you will have more incentive and power yourself to try and help raise up those other minnows who are contributing value to the network.
