I support this effort, but unless top-down tools are introduced so everyone can combat the unrelenting tide of self-vote-pools and web-scraping "curators", Steemit is doomed.

Not a popular opinion, but nearly every damn post I see is littered with throw-away comments and upvote abuse.

If it doesn't get addressed you'll just have creators leave, and it will end up being spam posts with spam commenters begging each other for upvotes and follows.
