it is one of those deep seeded flaws in capitalism that we've all been ingrained with.

Whilst crypto is supposed to promote a decentralised economy and new ways of working, new world order, people are all approaching it with a capitalist mindset.

capitalism fails in a few areas.

• every dollar earnt is a dollar lost by somebody else.
• some tasks which may be essential to a society, but not to any one individual, will be neglected because it won't be seen as profitable.

In a way that's what's happening here. Posting good content is essential for a platform like steem, but it is only rewarded by people that perceive that content worthy of reward, and they need to even see it before they can do that - when that doesn't happen, then the content production slows down.. and that is where a platform can fail completely..

still waiting for some of the enhancements to the platform that can boost content visibility and in turn content rewards, which will lead to greater content quantity (and quality)
