People don't realize what they are doing to their own earning potential by adopting a passive approach to managing the reward pool.

Having a direct economic incentive from a shared resource that behaves like the Steem pool, fundamentally changes use case and therefore governance.
Passivity doesn't cut it for responsibility of ownership.
