Why would they, they would much rather make their own ship instead of trying to salvage a sinking one. I don't understand why anyone would jump into a broken system and try to fix it simply because they heard about it. Makes absolutely no sense, what makes sense is that once they know about the broken system they will ridicule and mock it, warning anyone against stepping into a huge pile of steemy shit.
"hey look at how horrible the state of this neighborhood is, let's buy in and put our reputation on the line by investing in it"
People buy real estate and invest in shoddy locations, and they eventually turn around for their long term vision. Of course, many don’t, but that’s why there’s a strong reward if they do. Your opinions are valid, but they don’t fit the mold of every person with wealth or interest to invest in the crypto space. It may not make sense, but some people might be excited at the opportunity to buy a clunker and rebuild it to be the hero. Dan is doing a great job at making this place better. More of his type and things can change, and some people might (as crazy as that sounds) might find the risk/reward for their taste.

You know what won't fix a stinking ship? Investors. Even if you plug the holes with them. The last thing we need is to attract the people who will first of all respect Marketing and advertising enough to actually follow the hype, and second, the type of people that will put a strip club, a bar and a liquor store in a neighborhood that's going to shit, which is exactly what every single "investor" who goes to a poor neighborhood does, that or gentrification, I never heard of anyone turning the slum around for the benefit of that community.
You know how I know that it's nonsense?
A: people who respond to hype and advertising are the last people that will "turn this place around".
B: our Alexa rank is great, and the ammount of traffic that comes to steem without one iota of marketing through search results and the top spots our articles hold among those results is phenomenal
C: no ammount of investment will fix steem, after all if steem is $100 and it still is broken then you better believe that the desperation and cheating will only be exacerbated by the "easy money" crowd
D: besides the impressionable idiots that don't ignore the marketing hype and actually find it interesting, the last people we need are marketing types and speculators (see above, liquor store/strip club investors)
E: who else would accept such a proposition to invest in besides the worst of the worst, the parasite and vultures?
F: no amount of hype will change the incentive structure around, it will again, only exacerbate the situation because nothing has changed
G: there is no "code" or development team that could mitigate abuse on the platform, the code is already in place, it's called flagging
H: speaking of developers, delopers are not the kind of people that don't run an adblock or another, or follow some hype.
