I totally agree with you, as an investor myself i don't see yet the potential in steemit as a long term investment. People are only posting things that will generate a lot of likes and money but they are not posting really useful stuff. Getting rewarded thousands of dollars for a blog post on your holidays or some make up tutorial is not sustainable in the long term and i predict the collapse of this platform or a drastic change to come.
When this platform went online i thought we would see incredible content that you can't find anywhere else, like the post i did on futures contracts. But my post got only 2cts in rewards. This doesn't make any sense.
