Steem is trying to go beyond being a blogger site that pays you. I agree with some of what you say but a decentralized system can and will be exploited if someone sees a way to exploit. The content people produce may have quality but that does not matter because other people choose who to back and give their upvotes to. I still believe in steem and don't necessarily see a fix for the steemit platform but I still enjoy seeing post like your because diveristy of thought is important in expanding your horizons and gaining knowledge.
