Possible ways to ensure Steemit stays on course:
Upvote value content only.
Never vote for something because the author/creator voted for me.
Never upvote anything I write.
Unfortunately I upvoted my first 3 comments on Steemit. I thought I was voting for the posts.
Does anyone have any more ideas?
Displaying the post $amount is a feedback loop that probably isn't too healthy, especially when that STEEM price keeps going up :-D

I thought this exact same thing. It turns into a money game instead of taking the time to post good content and also spend time reading posts instead of just posting, posting and posting some more just for the rewards. Having the $ on each post is such a double edged sword. I started on here in 2016 and went off for a while due to work stress but also because you'd see many average posts getting huge amounts while mine were getting very little. Makes it you wonder if it's worth the time until I personally discovered I like to type and share as well as read other people's posts.

It's all about quality, original content. That's what will really drive the value of Steem.
