Interesting thoughts @krnel. I think pushing the popularity of STEEM, the efficient and reliable currency, rather than promoting steemit.com as an easy money media platform will have a much more desirable outcome.

Rather preserve steemit.com as a platform hosting a community of like minds sharing and developing valuable thoughts, bolstered by rewards in a more valuable currency, than overpopulating the place with mindless money-chasers.

It is the demand for STEEM in the market on the steem blockchain, but outside the media platform that gives it value in terms of other currencies.
