Yes, I think content creators on Steemit can somewhat control this problem by only rewarding/upvoting comments that are genuine. I think that is how the "CopyCat Comments" where born - they noticed that the short little basic comments they left were not getting upvotes anymore. People are aware of the copycat problem too now, so those comments aren't getting upvotes as much anymore either lol.

Thank you for your Genuine Comment! :)
