Thanks again for your comprehensive answer!
To be honest I don't believe Steemit has a chance to become successful. While in essence it should be possible for a concept like this. But right now I have a feeling it could have a bigger chance with a centralized system then with the current system (which some people call decentralized, but to my opinion it's far from that).
I didn't realize that also people like you are quitting Steemit. In terms of impact that could be much worse then a few new users that quit after 40 posts.
And I wonder what happens if all these greedy people go to EOS in 2 months 🤔😜
