Doing something like that would actually curb what's going on right now. Although, from what I've seen, a change like that would take time and I have a feeling would not be adapted normally through this website.

I do think there are folks out there still doing what they can for the positive of the platform. But as we can see, it's going to be outweighed by parties with stronger self-interest in mind. Only time can really tell what's going to happen, but I pray that steemit will succeed and triumph for the all rather than the few. 

Thanks for sharing your views, I appreciate it greatly, and I did learn something new. Thank you for that as well!
