The slow down of content will come, largely because there is no point in providing quality content to an audience who is not there. If people are literally hoarding votes, only a certain few get voted up providing the same dull ass content with ridiculous amou ts attached. Or for that matter huge vote tallies. Naw man, #original content, apparently #steemit is the place where it goes to die. People beg, people will do literally this #upvoteforupvote , I've already been asked to do stupid shit for people in my commemts sections to maybe get votes (no I did not). I try to be selective on what I upvote, not junk, not the same material that I have been seeing floating around the internet now all of a sudden this person, their kid, or the damn dog made it. No.
