you cant expect people to continually get 25 usd worth of steem for posting a 3 legged cat, there was a first mover windfall.. and we must take a step back & realize that in 3 years this will be a at least a billion usd company with over 200k daily active users. this means ,even if there is less hype around a basic post. good content will still get what its worth due to the amount of traffic increase coming behind us ;)
