@tarazkp has been saying something similar for a while now. I think the main problem is that a lot of people may not view this platform as a long term investment where you have to be consistent, patient, interact with community and store some steem power. People just want to cash out and get paid as soon as possible. Until everyone decides to put in the work and hold a bit more, the problem will persist.
On the lighter side, I've been trying to penetrate that your circle @whatsup, it seems there are no openings... Lol
tarazkp from my point of view did exactly like I did. He created a circle and grew with them.
