That's true, but the curation thing is kinda broken/dead/manipulated. I spoke to a long time witness today who explained how the early days were a different story. Bots are almost essential to build steem power. I'm not posting shit but I'd like to get to a place where I don't need bots or upvote accounts anymore. Those with niche content don't get anywhere. It's essential until they reach a point where get engaged supportive followers or they can upvote themselves.

The thing is, this tends to be a problem for all platforms where the goal is to make money. Try being a Youtuber or a twitch streamer and you will tend to run into the same problems. Discouragement ect.
With steemit you do at least have the option to self upvote but that's kind of weird honestly. I wonder what Dan has in mind for the steemit competitor on EOS. I BET you that the problem is the people on the platform and not the platform itself.
We need people with tons of steem power to actively seek out and moderate the platform through a method of positive reinforcement.
An honest system that rewards users could work, but that is what the top witness should be doing and we know that they and steemit inc are not really upholding to that with integrity. EOS may not be a saving grace. Who makes a competitor needs to really think through the whole system again otherwise history will repeat itself. I would upvote back, but I'm very low. Need to recharge.
