I feel like the hype period has gone on for way too long. The Whales were only supposed to pump PRO steemit posts until the money was made that started bringing the hot shots over like berwick and shreem or sheen. They were the white knights of our age claiming "come to steemit and make money doing what you're already doing" and phase 3 stalled at the gate.
Curation needs a bit of fixing and a lottery held for the most popular majority voted idea.. At least then we'll see plain and simple if the best idea for steemit as a whole is the best idea for steemit - or the best idea for those at the top.
