I've just read the post and about one-fifth of the comments. Great stuff. I would have read more, but I only have so much time to engage in reading and curating.

I feel like you are very much right. It was one of the comments here that said something about how Steemit was at the beginning. I think that at that time, people were more critical about what content was being upvoted. I also feel like it could be Steemit itself, who eventually destroys the community by not recognizing and addressing the problems.

I wrote an article about what I think is rotten in the world of Steemit. You can find it here. I am interested in what you have to say about my claims.

Writing this, I've just got an idea for the perfect next post, so after I finish I might go and write it down.
