I think Steemit is starting to slowly get that resteems are a little out of hand, because they recently added the "Hide resteems" button to the profile pages which has been helpful to me at least. I've found so many people who have only written like a few posts and their feed is just full of resteems. In my eyes this is not a person to follow (although those users usually have a lot of followers... lol).

I don't think people will start resteeming less, but another good option would be to add the same "Hide resteems" button to the /feed page, so I can enjoy original content in my feed and from the people I follow.

Then again.. the resteeming would get kind of pointless, because everyone would be using that button I assume. Therego to stop resteeming all the nonsense would be better option so the resteems of good content wouldn't go to waste with the button. :D
