I think you point to something important here, that "we are not robots." Indeed, no we are not. And I like the fact that as Steemit grows and matures, the more "personal" angle shows up, more and more.

As a writer, I happen to enjoy writing "article like" posts and philosophical explorations... but at the same time, I really don't care about 300 very similar essays on "Why Smartphones Are Useful." I already know they are useful... I don't need an article of "empty words" to tell me that. On the other hand, of someone has an amazing recipe for curry to share, I find that more interesting. Or some great travel tips from some location I have not been to, but would like to visit.
