Well said.

That was pretty much what I hoped it would be, when I started here in January 2017. I like the old "social blogging" format of the days of Xanga, LiveJournal, Diary-X and others... but clearly that was not to be, and the original direction was somewhat lost when @dan and @ned parted ways...

But regardless, I think the platform would benefit from emphasizing the rewards as a consequence rather than the primary objective.
