I simply presented the reality of the situation brought up in the previous post, i.e. the success of a poster is their responsibility. Whether they choose to exploit their body or mind to achieve that end is irrelevant to the conclusion; success. The greater issue brought up, relates to the value proposition of steemit as a platform for both creators and content consumers. We will certainly see more content of the type we reward, additionally people seek to optimize for minimal labor and maximal reward. So it follows that if we reward content which capitalizes on largely hereditary traits and requires low effort to produce we encourage an increase in its production while simultaneously disincentivizing creation of content which by its nature is more difficult to produce and inherently rare. this is a trend exemplified by media in general, but i won't go into an even longer diatribe on societies which value vanity over substance and their historical fates'. In short, do you want crypto-Instagram or a hub for creative thoughtful content? for the record I'm on neither side, its all just entertainment to me.
