Many things. Most importantly, I think Steem is undervalued relative to most other projects and will go up. Steem is easy to earn now because many who think like you are posting much less than they used to. The number of dapps is increasing. I suggest you find an app that rewards you for doing something you enjoy and use that app. Lots of people are using Actifit, for example. They would exercise anyway but they use Actifit because they can get an upvote with one push of a button. Follow the app space and take up using one that you love to use and integrate it into your lifestyle. For example, I use SteemPeak for posting my photography. Photography is a hobby of mine. I make about 10-15 STEEM per day by posting a few photos of mine and about 3/4 of that is what I net from using @ocdb. That's currently worth about €3 per day. I could just photograph. But why would not publish my photos on Steem and get nothing? That €1000 is per year (at the current rate) is a nice sum of money and one day the stake that I'm accumulating could be worth a lot more.
When you say that you cannot muster the motivation to post about the ideas that you have, I think the problem is that you don't really want to say those things. You only want the money. Now. Crypto is notoriously volatile. You build and accumulate during a bear market. But you have to do it. Your stake will not accumulate by itself.
Well, I think undervalued for a reason, mainly because DPOS in general is quite controversial in crypto space. But then again, most crypto projects are over-hyped anyway.
DApp is an abbreviated form for decentralized application.
A DApp has its backend code running on a decentralized peer-to-peer network. Contrast this with an app where the backend code is running on centralized servers.
A DApp can have frontend code and user interfaces written in any language (just like an app) that can make calls to its backend. Furthermore, its frontend can be hosted on decentralized storage such as Swarm or IPFS.
If an app=frontend+server, then:
DApp = frontend + contracts
As per definition of DApp, maybe Steem's lack of smart contracts also a thing? Ofc one can make as many sites for DApp lists but still.

EOS is a DPoS chain and its market cap is $3.2 billion and its market cap is the fourth largest of all public blockchain projects. Not only is EOS a DPoS chain but also a Graphene chain based on the same architecture as Steem. Both designed by the same people.
TRON is also a DPoS chain and the eight largest by market cap.
Most investors haven't done their homework. Many do not realize that with Proof-of-Work you can potentially get great censorship resistance but you won't get any scalability without second-tier solutions where centralization of can be an issue as in the so-called banking nodes in the Bitcoin Lightning Network (you need BTC locked up for as long as a channel is open).
DPoS consensus works very well with an even stake distribution. And, Steem inflation, by the way, is taking us there.

Few people know what Steem already does and can do. Steem's strength is the strong community we have.
Thanks for giving your insight!
