Several years ago, [the internet], had a problem: [Good, original content] was being packaged with [shitty websites, advertisements, and terribly journalism] . Hoping to improve product quality and cleanliness, [Steemit] designed an incentive scheme in which [writers and curators] received a bonus for finding [good content]. [People] responded by bringing [non-original content] from [the web and Steemit itself], and [posting] them [to Steemit] to earn the bonus.
