Shit that's a well thought out comment, you should just write that as a post haha. But you're right I've introduced a bunch of real life people here and they just don't see the point, its too much work for too little in exchange, to understand the system here and be able to profit from it is becoming a losing battle.
The no moderation I kind of like, it helps serve the whole decentralised idea but the problem is it kind of has moderators, or rather the whales moderate you know. If they don't like something or they disagree then pow there goes your post. It's how we end up with flag wars like between bernie and haejin but thats detrimental to the platform too. I guess the concept works but in reality it doesn't. The people that were here first, premined all the steem etc are the ones who have control now and probably for as long as the platform lasts.
