The problem that steemit has is managing to keep the good content creators at the moment, it is not that much about the rewards, though that also helps. People that love to write don't do it just for money, it is because they love it and because they want to share their interests, passions, hobbies or whatever with others. If it seems to you that you are writing, but there is nobody there to read it, whatever the topic, what you write, then there is just no point in continue doing it, right? I'm currently getting the feeling that there is nobody there to read most of the things that I write and I'm not writing just about 3D printing :)

I wonder if writers will go to the bigger audience. It might be synereo. They pay you to read instead of vote. Payouts might be bigger there for an author.

That is a possibility if they manage to deliver a lot of interested readers, readers that are not just there for the rewards, and that ain't gonna be easy. Though I also suspect that one of the reasons we don't yet have an official post views counter on steemit is also because most of the articles do not get a lot of views, unless they go trending of course.
