I though it could help to link a creator's right to his pictures/drawing. Even if the creative commons licensing is getting bigger (3d models for example), they would not serve well as publicity. So I guess it won't not help Steemit to grow, but mostly an useful addon. I guess I didn't get the concept right after re-reading it (sorry!). Hopefully it didn't waste too much of your time and that it could spark an idea for your guys.

Maybe a profile symbol/cryptoart with bits of the user's post could design and built itself over time. A little bit like cryptokitties, they could exist in the blockchain, it could help in keeping the profile as long as possible, the creations of groups that ends up with the 'same sryle' image, gaining pixels with numbers of posts. Etc. But that is way over my skills...except the drawing part maybe. Hope it helps
