RE: Every upvote given needs to be offset by an equal amount of value coming into the Steem Blockchain.

I guess what I would like to see is DApps like @tasteem having a revenue generating plan. Every week they gather lots of reviews, and give out lots of handsome upvotes ... how are these being used to generate value for the block chain? All that intelligence about local eating places ... a simple search function would be a good start.
