Agree I don't see Reddit doing this. While I'm spending more time on Steemit and actually prefer it to Reddit I'm still wrestling with the question of whether money and the ability to get money corrupts everything ie is Reddit a better place for consuming content because the focus is content and not monetary gain?

Have you heard about Minds or Gab? I think they are trying to copy Steemit, apparently minds has a way to earn I don't believe gab does.
