What worries me with steem is that content will become more and more homogenised as people seek to provide content that appeals to the main stream, in an attempt to gain more upvotes.
The danger with this is that as a community we may start to think less out of the box. People will be on a constant crusade to quickly upvote and share in the next "popular" post and move on to the next, instead of thinking deeply and perhaps working together towards solving some of this world's problems.
But I guess if people want to see cats and tanned skin, then give it to them right!
I think most of the beginners are like that, but they will quickly realise how to use steemit. Hopefully.
I guess you're right, and I suppose to retain long term followers, people will generally have to find a niche, a particular area of specialised interest that a group of people want to follow... things like a cooking channel and so on...
I don't think that will be a problem. Just look at YouTube, the most popular creators are often those who are most controversial (and now getting demonetized).
One thing that must be avoided at all costs is that this platform does not turn into a reddit or quora
Every word man , right on point
