That is such a misguided article you linked. Sure, the vast majority of users on the more mainstream platforms like facebook, instagram, etc., post shite content. But the vast majority of them also don't get rewarded for posting shite content. The ones who do, typically have some degree of celebrity status, thousands of followers, etc. So sure, of course when (if) Steem becomes more mainstream, there will be even more users posting shite memes and other crap content. But to argue that they should be rewarded for that, or that because most people just want to post crap that actually talented people who post awesome creative stuff shouldn't get rewarded, is asinine. And btw every other platform out there actually goes out of its way to attract and reward actually talented people who post awesome creative stuff. In fact, it is sad to say, most of them are doing a better job at that than Steem is despite the fact that "proof of brain" and upvoting quality content is supposedly the backbone of this blockchain.
