It won't be done, because those with substantial stakes that control the platform profit from bots. Most of the account holders that have been here very long do as well.
Most users that don't use bots have little SP, because bots are how to grow SP on Steemit.
I don't care, because I am not here for rewards, but rather the vibrant discourse that yet remains here, that other platforms have quelled with censorship, propaganda, and various means of oppressing free speech.
Fortunately, this makes me immune to fear of flagging. I couldn't spend my Steem if I wanted to, because I don't even have a bank account, because I won't support those crooks.
Like I said, Local BTC seems a good model - but I'm not near a city where I find other Steemers abound.
If you can figger a way to take your Steem and get a handful of fiat from it without involving a bank, please let me know. I am actually trying to use the Local Steem idea, and that could work. I also am back working, so that's a better solution anyway =)
I hope you have the best Christmas you ever have, tomorrow!
its Christmas day already here! cheers - you too!
it's very hard to even use bitcoin here atm - (in thailand) - looking itno it now ..
If you are in US you can get a prepaid debit card - put bitcoin onto that - then use an atm....?
(I thought you could, anyway - no bank account needed)
Beautifully put. And a worthy read, as ever. God bless you my friend, and may our journeys across the Steemit cyberspace be full of good, rewarding, and ever-teaching experiences.
The better part of this community will persevere, we will stand victorious at the end or see it all burn behind us... !
Please see how Fractals comment above has been censored

There is no better reward than fascinating engagement with good company.
May you always be blessed with it.
May it be so.
It is indeed a blessing of our age, to be able to engage with people half a World away and yet so... seamlessly.
Blessings, dear friend.
