You did highlight some flaws of steemit and they are the truths this platform might be lacking. But i think steemit is the first and therefore leading in this social media revolution and we shouldn't expect a perfectly design system from scratch.

Where i think the real problem is; its when we are getting mature and aging but the system isn't. I believe with time and understanding the platform will improve and fix their flaws

For now, we can hope for the best
