"The easy solution is to make the majority of users change their mindsets. Make them stop thinking of STEEM as a way to make money. Educating them about the original purpose of rewarding the largest number of real humans, and being generous with your own upvotes when you make a real human connection."
Rewarding the largest number of real humans... with cryptocurrency which can turn into money. It's a social platform where you can make money and you should be able to make money here. People shouldn't be using cheap methods to do it, and should be genuine, but even "rewarding the largest number of real humans" was still with cryptocurrency which could turn into money. And it helped me pay bills and was a lifesaver at times. I can't agree that it isn't at least partially about making money.
