Time will expose people. People can't happy all the time, they'll give up. People will either be honest and genuine, stop expecting to be rewarded (or they'll back their backs and fold).

Your points are hard-ass, but it needed to be said, so I really can't fault you for the original post. Also Steemit is an early platform, just wait for the bloodbath that'll be when it goes mainstream.

Most people can't manage money or become delusion after they see a 5-dollar bill, these generally are the same types of people who always say things like "Money doesn't make you happy" or "I don't need wealth." - but soon as money is actually involved they become wolves, posing as a nun moments before hand.

So time. Imagine when there's account with 1mil+ everywhere, and thousands of bots, and everybody has a Steemit platform. By then the platform will have evolved, or the entitlement problem will be more interesting to witness.

Fakeness fades like a poorly coated veneer, eventually people will start to be honest, and realize that's more profitable.

Hell, I up-voted you just because you stated your own opinion. You weren't being needlessly divisive, you were just speaking your truth.

People will respect that, it'll just take time man.

Those are my thoughts.
