Yeah, i have found out that many people claims that bitcoin, and other " new " btc related inventions can help the world, and finish world poverty.
Obviously, all is that not true, steemit cannot also. It is a great tool with many ways to use, but you cannot expect that some website is going to change the whole world.
Help out poor people by yourself, and hope that it will finish their problems!
If you think that you have done not enough, then help more! Steemit is not a way for this. Doing it by yourself- it is an ultimate way to spread the happinness :)
