Lol, my favorite quotes from your post:
"Will this work? no"
and
"Sadly, the real world of Steemit has bots. So many bots!"
Well thought out.
The longer I'm on here, the more I realize Steemit should be thought of as more of a game.
Also the longer I'm on here, the quality and length of my posts decrease dramatically!
Right now SteemIt is a platform that talks about SteemIt. That feels weird to me. "Here's a post on SteemIt talking about how to make money on SteemIt."
Great, but what is the value of SteemIt other than being a self-serving money making platform?
I'd love to see SteemIt grow as a social media platform. I'd love to see more photography, philosophy, pets, cooking, news, etc popping up in the popular posts feed - And I think that can happen, but it will require a major change in how curation is handled.
Yeah that'd be nice, then again I'm pretty tired of photography and pets as well.
How it shakes out, only time will tell I suppose.
