Hmm.. you're probably right in terms of value.
But I believe people also want a place quite different from other social media..
I met many talking about a steem journey.
Shit Postings like on Instagram would probably destroy their journey..
The best would still be to have both.
And in opposite to you, I think steem could be both.
Maybe through different dapps.
You mentioned dlike for shit postings. Maybe @steem-stem for quality science.. Etc
Just the steem journey would be another.. And without teaching people you won't achieve better mindsets..
But you could still leverage payouts of quality posts through investors and projects like steem-stem
And if the price is higher, the leverage isnt less high ;)
Greets from germany and sorry for my english^^
Sure you could have different DApps focusing upon different things. That is what they are for. As you mentioned, posts on STEM are far different from Dlike. The problem is they all feed into the same pot and people read that to determine what to attack. As mentioned, steemcleaners will hit all the sites.
Neither do I like those 'steemcleaners' nor do I like people who have 50 accounts automated shit posting to farm steem..
Steem is not a single place. There is plenty of room for fun posts and serious content.

My feeling is that is a big part of the problem, with folks seeing the steem blockchain as a replacement to a social media platform like facebook, instead of seeing it as a blogging platform as it is/was intended to be.
Well..
The Blockchain is one thing: infrastructure for dapps
Just because steemit.com was the first dapp, steem is not only blogging.
It's much more!
Blogging/Steemit.com was also an idea for coin distribution.
Ago there was also better code such as n² implemented, which was later due an hf changed :/
There was also self voting which was installed and uninstalled through a series of HFs; which in my mind highlights (fairly harmlessly) the drawbacks of top 20 witness governance; exposing such obvious conflicts of interests.
There is still selfvoting and jerk cycling
