@zoef, thanks God there's someone that says that the king is naked. I am curious to see the curation level when what will remain is just a bunch of whales'posts on whose quality and intrinsic interest allow me to doubt. At this point, mass adoption is a utopia. Surely this is going create another disincentive for content creators: why should they write quality posts when their time and effort is worth nothing? Why someone new should feel curious and attracted by Steemit? Probably, this is just not the place where to find interesting contents (interesting per se, aka something that anyone steemian or not would come and read). So what place is this? Let's stop being delusional high there: time is passing and scaling/broad adoption is not happening.
