A simple fix would be to make the homepage the promoted page, and then no more bullshitting that bots are for promotion.

Not sure that would really save the day. I think that just putting something on the front page doesn't really mean that the front page makes sense or brings any value...

Because, well an example:
"Download my amazing app: It's Steem without the annoying promoted posts!"
There is no direct incentive for UI developers to make their app worse by including the promoted content. Work on this issue and you might have something.
If an app excludes promoted posts it makes it better -> less paid spam.
WRT: changing the steem homepage to promoted posts.
Yes, it would make promoted posts more attractive, but it doesn't make steemit more attractive to users. If a new user coming first sees promoted posts and then has to click to get trending or their own feed then that's a turn off.
