Well said Karen, it is getting much harder to find good stuff in Steemit, I also blame the newly arrived in their rush to earn millions (not possible in a week/month/year).

I think the buy your upvote bots have a big influence on this behaviour too, many accounts just throw up a copy & paste or use undredited images then buy an upvote cha-ching free money while p!ssing off the majority of Steemit community with garbage.

If this goes on too long, Steemit will end up losing it's longer term members who will just up and take their STEEM & SBD and leave...this will leave Steemit with a platform full of trash mostly.

As it is Steemiit is slowliy filling with bots, upvote bots, comment bots, curation bots...what next bots that actually write the posts for the bots to vote on and drain the rewards pool.

You got an upvote & resteem from me, more need to see this.
Steem on beyond the moon, lets take it way further than that. Good luck to us all.
