I have a really hard time for that stance though when I see a 90% generic post about a Bitcoin chart that is basically a screenshot of something a program made and a text that could be (or even is) computer-generized like the weather forecast, and such a 5-10 minute thing getting 100$+

Majority of that money is probably coming from friends or alternative accounts upvoting her. It's their Steem power, so up to them. But, then you're right...it creates the hype and the post ends up on trending/hot and then all these other people upvote. If dollar value didn't impact the "hot" or "trending" pages...then maybe we can get to a more level playing field where there is still a reason to buy Steem.
