If the Steem ecosystem is to succeed, there needs to be the ability for publishers of any and all mindsets to have the opportunity to succeed as well. The value generated largely by Steemians using this as a bastion of non-traditional/non-mainstream philosophy is a testament to the system's ability to cut through "agendas" and empower people of all beliefs. That said, it is imperative, if we all want Steem to grow, that it incorporate the philosophies and perspectives typically associated with the "mainstream". It will be the curation of the community, the implementation (or lack therof) of content filtering algorithms of the various User Interfaces, and the choices of Steemiams to utilize those interfaces which will determine the financial success and incentive structures. Being anti-mainstream is not only short-sighted, but also short-sells the potential of community regulated systems.
