I definitely don't recommend grenade chucking! And I definitely relate to the approach of observing. I find myself increasingly interested in Steemit's potential as a conversation tool. Controversy can be a cheaply exploited hook, but is also the keeper of all the good questions. I think you've asked a good question is all. I've found that when I feel like something is off here and no one seems aware of it that within a week it will come out and become a topic for a moment, like the bot wars topic. It may be that this question will ask itself. :)
