Although I 100% agree with you, there is one thing you haven't considered, and if it will save or should I say keep this platform alive is yet to be seen, but...

Remember, that us as content creators are always in the minority, even though we don't see it that way, because in our minds everyone on here is trying to blog and get money, which is simply not true.

On all platforms, the great majority of users are consumers. They consume the content we creators create, and that's how platforms survive and thrive.

Now, with that being said, if Steemit just keeps pumping out articles of people jerking off Steemit all the time, or the same old crypto-currency articles, or Asian chicks taking trips to the Bahamas, well then... this platform will surely die.

Unfortunately, as of now, all the whales like that kind of shit, and will continue to up-vote it all into the "Hot" and "Trending" sections, which may very well put Steemit out of existence in the months or years to come.
