If content becomes completely ignored, Steemit collapses. Sure, the bots could take over and potentially generate cryptocurrency until the end of time and in that way live on forever, but the inspiring and revolutionary possibility that's igniting so many--the possibility for an entirely new paradigm, a cutting edge social media platform, and A NEW ECONOMY BASED ON VALUES will be swallowed once again by greed. We hope you're right that this undesirable outcome is unlikely! "Everyone loses if quality content doesn’t rise to the top", and not just within Steemit. This community has priceless potential to unite key WORLD players--the intellects and motivators who are BEING change--and we don't want to see it go down at the hands of a selfish few unwilling to see the bigger picture and the greater good. This game is EPIC and its implications are profound. Thanks for the article, @dantheman--definitely provokes thought!
