I've been saying things similar to what you're getting at here, a million different ways, for years. People get it but there's always something working against the flow.

Yeah....what's working against the flow is that the whales seen to want this to be their own little cryptonerd echo chamber instead of a social media site for human beings. Which worked out real great for steem....it dropped by 90% and got bought up by something with a brain. and by the way, he implemented and fixed a lot of stuff, and I wouldn't count him out yet. He didn't invest all that money just to take it in the butt. It's an even bet he turns that site around/hires someone who knows how.
I left the old place due to censorship. At one point I used to enjoy writing a lot of local satire. A good example is a recent post with the Sunday Sunday Sunday thumbnail. I wouldn't feel 'safe' writing that kind of material, or even pushing it further, under someone acting like a boss. I took a few stabs at dark humor as well and even included artwork containing cartoon violence. That freedom is gone when working under a panel of censors. Plus they're selling votes over on Steem again. I battled that for years and was forced to earned peanuts while my blog was one of the most active on the platform consistently. I can't buy votes for something funny. Wtf happens when I bomb?
