Well, this is exactly what my mind has been pulling off, but you managed to give a perfect description of it and put it into words.
I believe Steemit can not only become one of the greatest cryptocurrencies out there, but also a model our society could implement for most of its activities.

It is a model based on a win-win relationship. You are encouraged to help other people's content and their success is actually your success.

In the current world where we live in, things like monopolization and unfair competion are things that can be rewarded.

It's possible to find a bit of that here, especially for what you mentioned about bots being used to make trash posts to become popular.

However, that's something I think could soon be fixed and does not overshadow its main goal which you pretty much explained already.

Thanks again for this information!
