The decentralized system on steemit is pretty much a good reflection of our current world reality. Unless something is done to "level" the playing field for minnows, good authors will eventually be disincentivized to continue to blog. Eventually, spamming will hurt the community.

Hope that HF20 will bring about some much needed "regulation."

I guess the best solution now is to not follow spammy authors and hold back the need for instant Steem gratification.
