Sadly, there’s always something else to invent whilst rewards are available and Steemit tries new initiatives to help it grow. If the Steemit team were to disappear, they’d all move to “My Bangla Blog” (where many of them are already).

They key for me is comments - if somebody spends their time writing 5 or 6 considered and meaningful comments each day, then they’re adding value and are less likely to be spending their time on scams.
