So it seems you agree there is a problem with spammers and copy-paste publishers. And that your solution is to wait for the devs to come up with a solution to the hoards that will come and do more spamming, copy-paste articles, along with trolling and being a douchebag and the rest.

My contention is that we need to get the input of those in the beta at this early stage to get those problems addressed while it's still at a manageable stage. We need to listen to the minnows (the average users that are coming in now) and not just focus on being nice and trying to make a buck by being a barnacle on a whale. If we keep ignoring the concerns of people that see some holes in the fabric of Steemit.com, what's going to happen a month or two from now when even more "average" folk are entering the pool for the first time?

If we can establish a kind culture that is open to criticism and change when good arguments are presented we will become strong enough to keep Steemit from becoming another cesspool social media site where differing views are marginalized and demonized.

Steemit COULD be so much more than what has come before. Are you people only here for the money? Honestly, let me know if it's ONLY for the money.
