Hi my friend
Steemit needed a lot of people like you focused on making quality content and you have it defended it till exhaustion.
The newcomers and some nickel machine players need the education to understand this problem.
Shit content brings short-term financial value to the network, but it will bring devaluation on the long term.
Steemit is a citizenship journalism community and people should understand this value to fulfill the Vision and Mission of Steemit.
Witnesses should be an example but some witnesses and whales are selling votes like stock and this will turn a casino where you can bribe the managers.
I believe in universal ethical codes in the relation of peers, established in the communities that have a level of independence and autonomy in their internal functioning building an "holacratic governance" of the platform.
