Steemit community
There is no such thing. Or at least nowadays.
Steemit is the past president of the (social networks) being alive club. Steemit is a dead dApp on the Steem blockchain. Nowadays I (and many other people) do not even use it. If you check the statistics, then you can see that nowadays there are 23-32 000 daily active Steem users (on the whole Steem blockchain), the average number of posts per day is 8-10 000, but the average number of comments per post is only 1-2, and most of these comments are bot comments. The real human comments are rare on the Steem blockchain, especially on Steemit. Most of the people are focusing only on their own posts, but they do not care about other people's posts. Most of the posts are either ignored or overlooked. The most of the Steem blockchain users are selfish and greedy. There is no social factor on Steemit. The Steem blockchain is doomed by its own users.
The nature of Human being is selfish and greedy.
So accusing the nature of human being will not give us the solution.
What made us greedy is the rewards of the Steemit.
If we remove the rewards, what will happen in the steemit community.
Not everyone. There are many good, unselfish/selfless people.
There is only one way to find out. :)
The leader of the Steemit should really try that. At least for a few weeks. I would see what would happen. Probably the number of the posts would decrease close to zero. I say close to zero, because I saw some people, who published at least some of their posts with the "decline payout" setting, so a few people would maybe stay for posting even without the rewards.
