The problem is that SteemIt is an Investment platform, as well as a "Get paid for blogging" platform.
People have thousands/millions invested in the Steem currency, and expect to be able to get a return on their investment while waiting for it to grow.
What would you have them do rather than SELL their votes, while promoting "quality and original" content?

I would ask them to hodl their coins, leave the ecosystem alone, and let us build what is coming.
Their machinations, imo, are killing adoption.
Already only 25% of the sp available to vote does vote, if that was cut in half everybody's vote doubles.
I don't have a source for the numbers, but I'm preety sure if my 2200sp gives .3usd then extrapolation says it takes 22m sp to give a 300usd vote.
How many people got 20,000,000 usd to drop on the platform?
How many of those raping the rewards pool do you think it will take to kill the ecosystem?
I think investments of more than 100mv should be discouraged or Steemit runs the risk of remaining a billionaires boys club that farms the minnows out back in a pond.
Only one - see @grumpycat at 3 million. There are plenty of others
They don't "run the risk" - they ARE a "billionaires boys club".
There are TWO sides to the coin.
