I think we can agree that there are a lot of low quality posts in every social media. Instagram, Facebook, Snapshot, etc. all have lame posts and it has not stoped users from using it. As it will not stop growth of steemit. I think price stability has to do more with if people like using steemit and if the comunity grows. And I think it will. What we think is lame, other people might like it. But what I think is bad for the community is upvoting any content just to speculate if it will be a next hit without even reading it. Curation was ment to keep good quality content "hot" and to promote great posts.
