RE: Steemit.com has doubled in value in the past three weeks.

Downvoted not because I don't consider this a useful high quality post or because I disagree with it, but because I don't believe the interests of Steem are served by every platform update or request for feedback from the developers receiving hundreds or thousands of dollars that would otherwise go to other posters.

There a new feature in the 0.8.0 release which addresses your concern: the ability to post without receiving a payout.

These options give people [the ability] to opt-out of the monetary aspects of Steem and focus on just pure content.

Yes I agree that is a good feature for some use cases including this one.
