It's just like reddit but it needed an incentive to take off, and Steem (money) is achieving just that: promoting the platform, promoting good content.
The answer to your question: No, a lot of people wouldn't be here at this stage as if it weren't for the money they wouldn't have heard about it for at least 0.5-1 year from now when it would gain momentum. but YES is also an answer as in the long run people would start using Steemit just for what it is, a great platform for great content!
i am just sayinf we are pretending to love,when all welove is the money we expect.we dont care about the innovation or anything
