I'll block any ads on Steemit that don't compensate me for my attention. It's not just the blogger who is involved in this transaction, the reader's attention is the main commodity here.

Maybe ads are only shown to people who don't have an account on steem. This way you would have an incentive to sign up. And maybe the ads will only be visible after 7 days. I just think it's a shame the content creator get's nothing after the initial reward.
I agree with the intent, I do think we need to solve this problem as it is imperative to support both contemporary and long tail content. I just also want to have Steem be a system where it's recognized that the users attention belongs to them, and giving it out should involve their consent (which may require financial incentives).
I agree with your addendums.
