Good thoughts. All social media platforms should have utility in mind ideally, but I think it's especially important for Steemit, since it's so directly monetized and in such a burgeoning space as crypto. Since users are tasked with the prospect of both authoring and curating content, utility can present itself in a wide spectrum, as gaining useful information, being entertained, or simply earning more rewards. With this high experiential diversity and exponentially growing volume, perhaps a solution lies in more focused bottlenecks of users, creating more well-defined channels for real quality content, then perhaps some more talented bloggers can prioritize content creation, while others can curate or adapt to other Steemit-based platforms like dMania or dLive. I'm not sure what all this means or where it's going, but thanks for your thought-provoking analysis.
