Thanks for writing this, I wrote something along the same vein here, but focused more on how we can make steemit a valuable community (and avert devolving into a collection of posts about steemit/crypto and sexy ladies). https://steemit.com/steemit/@pieter/the-3-key-points-in-creating-value-on-steemit-and-anywhere-else 
It is of course ironic to talking about not talking about steemit too much while talking about steemit, but so be it. :)
