See in no way am I a professional blogger, I have been prolific on G+, Twitter etc. but three [quality] subjects per day? I'd have to resort to posting any old rubbish just to meet that target. :-(

I am on your side, its not good for the quality if you do 3 posts instead of 1. However my point was, since steemit is only rewarding 7days, quality in my opinion comes second in line after consistency, only to a certain point of course. If you would usually spent 3hours for 1 blog on steemit it might be better to spent the 3hours in doing 3blogs (1hour each).
So I've not been on steemit that long but the recent influx of users really grieve me. I've seen people post a page just rammed with pretty poor quality animated gifs with little or no textual content. I even saw one lazy [Insert relevant insult] simply post a youtube video. No accreditation just a subject line, the video and the usual help-me-get-more-followers-and-more-votes tags. :-D
I believe steemit is a niche and what you describe is basically a problem all social media sites have to face. Spam, bots , people exploiting/abusing the system. The algorythm has to find answers for it. Reputation was one approach. Steemit will constantly be tested and has to deal with people trying to exploit it. This is annoying at least, but it will also help steemit in a way that solutions have to be found and probably make steemit stronger and more stable afterwards. Its easier to change the algorythm than trying to change people's hearts & motivations :)
Can't we just do a Chuck Colson on them? :-D
