Well, 'gift economy' and 'generosity' are two different things. In traditional cultures considered to have 'gift economies', the gift giving often had motives other than material gain, such as 'honour' and 'prestige'. Also, this micro gift economy still exists within the context of dominant trade and feudal economies, and it takes a while for people to change their habits and perceptions. It might take generations to see what effect prolonged exposure to a platform like steem would have on a cultures attitude towards generosity.
