People who are doing well enough already won't be drawn to something with self-improvement as one of its de facto major selling points.

This is probably true in general, but LW overlaps with H+ memes, and H+ is radical self improvement, meaning that LW might attract people who are doing well, but aspire to be doing even better.

Besides, I think the people who look for self-improvement because they are not doing well would be more interested in e.g. tackling depression which is a small minority of LW content.
