I think you make some valid points.  SteemIt is a distribution tool for Steem.  It is currently being used in many ways, but rewarding the highest quality work by Authors isn't one of them.  It can still be a great tool for those who are working on building an audience and those who want to fund another element of their writing.
If you see nothing of value here, I think it is a perfect decision to quit before you get started.

I hope there will be a "blogger" and Author community once we have the ability to support that.

On a personal note, as an investment, I am glad we have a broader reach.

Once we have communities it will be easier for people to see and reward the content they want to see.  Authors should be able to find price support for their work.  We will see.

Thanks again. I hope so too. 

Regardless, the bots and power mechanisms here are noxious. They throw acid on quality authors striving to succeed, and in the most direct way possible. As long as they exist and power tilts in their favor, little is going to change. Example: Google goes great lengths to eliminate SEO spam and other abuses for ranking. My Google rankings have shot up over the years sheer through the elimination of spammers that used to outrank me. Here, it is the complete opposite and they are openly promoted for use.

Authors have it rough, and they are at the bottom level of the publishing food chain, money-wise. It is just very strange to see a platform that was created to rectify this issue become its biggest advocate. Thanks again and not to sound harsh - I LOVE the open discourse but I'm just calling it as I see it.
