Hello @rok-sivante
There is a lot of work that needs to be done when it comes to abuse on this platform and when it comes to the issue of when the abuse will end. I believe that as long as the reward pool is still present there will always be individuals who will try to game the system.
On a platform like Steemit that rewards good programmers it surprises me that some one will choose to use their programming skills for bad.
There are different ways a programmer can earn a decent living on this platform. The person can help improve existing products through Utopian or look for ways to build programs that will help Improve Steemit.
Going through the dark route is not wise.
When it comes to the issue of policing, I believe that it is a commual job and one that requires constant attention. Steemit is a gem in our lives and it is left to us to protect it even though the people we look up to don't.
