I think it is inevitable that the larger part of the Steemit community will become less of a creating and more of a consuming community, at least if it is to grow towards becoming a more mainstream social media platform. I think people that create content naturally like writers, coaches, musicians, artists etc will do well as creators, but there will have to be a way for content consumers to do well as well, otherwise why would they leave their current social media and come over to Steemit? Curation rewards is not the answer, unless you are considered a whale, because I don't know about you, but I like to upvote great quality content but I hardly make anything from doing so.
