I feel the same things that you do about Steemit... I had more hope before that things would be different, but I see the same disparity in the quality of posts and the rewards that get earned. I know it isn't the only part of the platform, but it is a depressing thing to see day in and day out. It gives me a bad feeling to go out and look at posts to find new and interesting things for me to read, as it means that I have to see these posts that aren't deserving of more than a few cents getting huge huge rewards...
Sad that you couldn't cope with it, I can see why though...
