Agree with you. Primary Purpose of this platform is to promote quality content but most of the steemians (new ones) are ruining this and just focusing on earning, no matter how.
During start, I spent time in writing useful and contributory content for adding value in this platform but that didnt even get views. With passing time, I have realized that building a good reputation, having good SP and voting value and few other tactics are must to promote your content for enhancing its reach to maximum users. Only posting is not enough. Well, that's my opinion.
Thanks for the great post buddy.
