Money changes everything. LOL
Honestly, I think that will dispel over time. For most of us it is so new that I think the novelty is in full force. Plus, it isnt that easy to make money from what I am reading. There are few shortcuts. Hence people are going to either drift away or start focusing on other reasons to be here like enjoying themselves or creating content people really like.
Encouraging others is paramount though...
lol... you're very right...
