Interesting perspective on the collective efforts of the community rather than as individuals. I agree and glad to hear you voice your thoughts on the both the economics and development.
I mentioned this on the proposal post that even commenting is an opportunity to share valuable information and content. We need to see the value in a platform that can be free from censorship and not fill it with content we don't value. Otherwise we'll have a platform filled with low valued content.
Who cares if what "you" percieve is low value content is on the platform. Simple fun posts are what will drive growth in a mass media sense not some 3k post on quantum mechanics.
Your whole thought process right there is what will make this platform fail and be the "myspace" of this kind of platform.
If you don't allow the mass majority in their is no long term value here.
Then what is the point of putting out useless information? Just to have bots upvote it? If you think the "mass majority" is choosing simple fun post to drive growth then you will see it turn out like myspace, and facebook and all the other social media platforms, censored, plagarism, spam, and fake news.
And obviously you cared enough to reply back to my comment so thank you :)
What might be "useless" to you may have value for someone else. I don't Steemit will grow at all with an elitist attitude.
By deterring people to post any content they want is a form of censorship in my opinion.
If Steemit is to turn out to be something, it needs to grab the attention of the mass majority other wise it will just wither and die a slow painful death.
Bot's don't see in terms of value or useless. They just vote without seeing either.
