The 19% seem to be driven by self-interest, ego, a sense of power and influence; a sub-set of the 1% gang. Maybe creating a user hierarchy would catalyze the 19% by appealing to their innate drive for a position above the masses. 80/19/1 feels suspiciously like the definition of modern western society: 1% of the population leads (politicians, corporate executives, etc.), 19% are active doers and have an extended sphere of influence (club/society leaders, clergy, small business owners), and 80% are the worker bees that live in a bubble that’s circumscribed by their daily existence.

I need to know that I exist, that I am a part of something important, and that I'm still an idividual with value. All of the noise and clutter are making me invisible . . . I was already wondering who I was, now I'm wondering if anyone hears me or know if I am. The ME effect is very powerful.

Still leaves me thinking about what motivates the golden middle.

I think two characteristics are (1) trivial for the end user to use and (2) highly self-referential value (e.g. whatever I use needs to have immediate value for ME). These two things drive the network effect - but in the absense of them, there's not much network effect. But - I'm still pondering and experimenting.
