Thank you for the follow and the post link.
I read Joseph's post about the "influencers". My concern is that like every other social media website, Steemit will eventually become swarmed with facebook-style shallow people. What make steemit so great is not the reward system, but the type of people it attracts. The "get-rich-quick" idea doesn't really work here, unless you invest heavily in SP, or already have a strong following, or are good at creating bots to "leverage" (aka cheat) the system.
