I actually disagree a little bit here, as far as I know most of active users care about the money they might make here(how much they care varies of course), 
and to be honest earning money is steemit thing( that makes steemit unique in terms of other social medias). I myself am not here to make money and spend it right now! I am having fun, engaging with others , try to post about the things I value and I think might be useful,funny.etc.. for others, and I also think about steemit as a kind of investment(I don't expect to make good money in couple of months, but I hope steem price gets to a level that I can do that). so let's hope steem price does not get to a level that you could not find any motivation for posting (because high quality post drains energy and is not easy at all)

I see Steemit has a high risk investment, a chance to be involved in a cutting edge social media startup. If the experiment fails, I have not lost money,  just some time, but I've really been pushed to produce art, I really like that! So it's all good for me ... I don't think it's good for moral to take money with flagging. This is like putting a bandage on an infected sore in hopes everything will turn out okay.

 For others who may be acting aggressively or seem to be acting aggressively, they may have invested a lot of money and time, they have more to lose.

I totally agree with you on this, the ones that are really aggressively active here are under pressure, because they invested big money and they expect to make more than others, as a result sometimes seeing others making more money by just posting or messing around(in their point of view), they don't accept it and start flagging them

I understand. What I'm trying to say here is that you can't put a price on art. Technically you can, but it's not the price that adds value to an atrwork.
Of course I don't expect everybody here to be people from the art scene.
Plus there are tons of websites where artists can make profit by selling their work. It's too bad that people take for granted all the technology behind Steemit and are here just for the $$$

as I said money is not the only reason, rather a good motivation, for example the estimated money that I made so far does not even make up for my time spent here, but I like it anyway and hoping for earning more money is always on the background, meanwhile I am having fun :)

I guess we are looking at the same thing from a different angle.
As someone who makes music, I made more money on Steemit for 5 months than on platforms like Bandcamp, Beatport, Spotify etc.
