I think it will, despite all the troubles going on here. It's hard to remember sometimes, but Steemit at this point in time is a lot like a small town: we're seeing the same type of drama and quarrels that go along with an small and somewhat insular community.

That should change with steady growth: the kind of growth that does not excite a lot of greed and resentment. Once Steemit become big enough to become a big town, the internecine drama will either become easier to ignore or easier to treat as a spectator sport :)
