Bots were supposed to intentionally get articles that deserved to be noticed boosted up, just like Facebook ads, but when people started using it as an ROI, the abuse starts.

Gamers, I would imagine them as critters, their dietary consumption is limited, unless they are the waste management superworms.

And gamers and students are not commercial sector. They are still consumers.

Let's switch it around.

If you are the lay herbivore (not trading expert) who has a bunch of Steem that you do not know what to do about it, say, like @hooiyewlim, classic case. He needs food on the table.

What range of commercial sector can benefit him if they are interested in absorbing Steem like a point exchange program for needs like cheaper groceries, affordable rides and meals, etc?

What do an average person needs?

Those are the missing entities in this ecosystem to make it stable.

Make sense?
