I am glad you brought this up about content being subjective. It tis' in the eye of the beholder what its worth, like a piece of art work. I have basically been here from the beginning of Steem and I remember when Steem blew up in July of 2016 and there was a make-up post that generated something like $30,000 in total. $15,000 in SBD and $15,000 in SP. It made a lot people upset but at the time the Steem Community was just so eager to upvote anything that would help bring in mainstream adoption. Since then Steem community has evolved and matured a great deal but its kinda like saying Bitcoin is maturing and becoming more stable. It is till its not! The blockchain space is still infant, transitioning from little kid to adolescent. While it really pisses me off to see some people abusing the Steem Rewards pool, I try and look past it and look at how far Steem has come in user growth and value. I think its very possible Steem with its upgrades and apps (Dtube, Dlive, Utopia, ECT) or SMT's gets the system down just right. This Steem's success is really about behavioral economics more than anything. Get all the incentives right for all parties involved and it works like a charm. Something in the Steem eco-system will get it right, if not Steemit itself. The good news for now at least, Steem is going on 2 years old and its not imploded yet (although it came pretty close a few times). User growth is stronger than ever before and I think some app or SMT will hit a home run in 2018, leading us to mass adoption mania. Steem in its current state still beats most small time Youtubers and well Facebook does not pay anything for interaction. Zero, zilch, nada!
