Actually, valuable content will always be just that, valuable. It doesn't matter if it's on Steemit, or another site. Steemit is growing, and in a big way. As the site grows, so will the value of the Steem token (almost certainly), and I suspect there will be a major increase of cash investments into the tokens as well. It would make sense that there will be more for all to share. That's the whole premise to Steemit, at least as I understand it.

Although pretty much anything is possible, what you describe would probably be more likely in a stagnant Steemit, with little to no growth, which would ultimately mean it's demise. If you decide to quite posting here, which is obviously your choice to do, you're guaranteed to never have Steemit work for you, and guaranteeing that you won't be successful...at least here.

I post very little, but I do try and find what I deem content worthy of an upvote, and I offer (hopefully) worthwhile comments, and I hope I'm helping that way.

Thanks for your opinion.
