Let me put it this way, when there were tons of people using the platform and keeping their faith in the future of what Steemit could be, that created demand.
The increase in demand may have been overwhelmed by the "leeches" you refer too taking more than they should have, and thus the fall in value.
So my point is while you may be entirely right that people are leeching off the system, it doesn't help to run people off either. Obviously I would agree with you if there are people "taking" what they shouldn't be. But I would also think you should agree that we should find ways to increase demand in the future too.
If your grand strategy is to run people off so that the place is a ghost town, Steem drops, and that will expose the "leeching"...then I guess it could work. The hard part though would be getting the people back when you've fixed the hole the money was leaking out from. Seems like a lot of work to run people off (and then hope to get em back).
ps... maybe a few of the "morons" might support you if you took the time to explain how they could.
