I don't know how yall will react to this opinion, but I think Steemit will benifit if it becomes more like reddit, where there are discussion threads with hundreds an thousands of comments and the upvoted/top posts in a thread are 'good. I think it comes down to the ethics behind upvoting, and the motivation for replying to a thread. While the payouts at a later date are clearly a motivation, a steemit culture needs to develop where the community equates good posts, funny, smart, whathaveyou, with high social/monitary value.In some ways, and I'm new so I might be wrong, at times steemit reminds me of eighty hustlers all trying to hustle one another.

Wow, you sound like an actual person who physically typed on his keyboard (no copy and paste) his actual thoughts (and not what the whales want to here).

it's just really hard. we're separated, we're in our homes, tired, there aren't as many central meeting groups, people are absorbed in their daily, and fun activities. I think it's just hard to structure, steemit hopefully will prove the economics are viable, because value transfer is at the core of community, whether it's trading rugs for food, or giving upvotes.

I look forward to the trading of rugs days ahead. They are coming.....
