Why are we using the steemit to get only steem coins?

Hi good folks,

This is my very first post in Steemit. So while thinking about what to write to get steem I got this idea, why am I just thinking about the coins, but not the crowd? I read many posts and their replies, seems like we have a very good crowd. Instead of writing some crap and expecting someone to like and comment them to get the steems, we should better start using this as a normal social network and steems would ultimately follow you.

Looking forward for the great journey with fellow steemers.

See you along :)
