What you are saying is very true and this has been a reoccurring topic since 2016. At first some of the large STEEM holders tried to reward stuff heavily that wasn't crypto related and some of that was good and some of it was so over weight on a few content creators that a lot of people just left the platform.
One of the reasons that happens so much is because people subconsciously see that some of the top rewarded people are just talking about STEEM and DTube so then everyone else starts doing that as well.
Then in the defense of anyone trying to curate on the platform or look for original content if people aren't talking about Steemit or DTube they sort of have this feeling that it is thrown up there by someone that is throwing it out to other platforms as well and it doesn't seem like they made as much effort to actually be apart of this community.
This platform is having a hard time every escaping the situation you are talking about and it all goes back to a messed up distribution from the beginning. Everyone on here in 2016 knows the situation and a lot of people just hope that people won't realize it or the problem will somehow go away but it won't entirely go away.
