fair enough, i think people are going to abuse any system, but if someone can genuinely build an audience and make money then aren't people going to flock to it?
i love the idea of steemit, but the reality of it is there is no money to be made unless you already have a fair chunk. like, a dollar on a post if you're lucky. never going to attract the masses is it?
but if miss hot-pants-popular on instagram can make $50-$100 for posting a revealing set of photos then is she going to want to do it? and messrs. bunch-of-aspiring-musicians? etc. etc. etc.
if voice doesn't do it, the first platform to successfully achieve it beats facebook, and that's some reward.
