I'm a bit confused. This is exactly what I was suggesting. Perhaps you are agreeing?

Yes, you're right. We agree on it! :)

Nobody wants that except maybe the people posting the cat pictures. But as I said less and less of it is even going to that, at the cost also not going to developers.

That's sadly true - not that many developers are on Steem, but I've got faith in utopian v2 bringing more devs to Steem to help shift the weight.
