@liberosist, you have made some very valid points but then, we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
I also believe when folks like you keep speaking out against some of this wrong habits, there is every possibility of things changing.
i am of the opinion that the reason for the creation of steemit will always be looked into by those in charge, Mark Zukerberg kept making changes to the facebook platform every now and then, i know we might see a new "face" of steemit in no time.
Thank You
