Hi @stef1, thoughtful words as always!

If we look at the very big picture, Steem/Steemit is an economic social experiment that independently parallels the Universal Basic Income proposals that often get talked about. But instead of a government giving a small financial aid, we have a peer-to-peer system that allows people a small cash flow as a result of doing a task. For some, maybe that makes it a bit depersonalized... but I know that I only curate/vote on content that appears to be "human." I like your painting and even your fraud/stolen identity posts because they share your process, not just a dry "this happened."

As always, thanks for the Booming nomination!
