To be honest, I am not putting a lot of effort into creating content for steemit right now because I'm not convinced that the platform is functional enough to survive in the long term until it addresses voting/flagging abuse in some manner. I'm not suggesting that users should be banned, but changes need to be made to the reward structure to prevent a single user from nullifying the opinions of hundreds of users.
Why create content when some whale will effectively censor every post you make and destroy any chance of getting rewards for content production to prevent you from detracting from their own bottom line?
If I see some positive changes in this direction, I will definitely create content. Right now, it doesn't seem like the community values new users enough to care about their content or even whether they have a voice.
