The "new" page is not so awful as it was just a few months ago when I first came.

There were korean and chinese languages, posts with just pictures, mostly those that doesn't seem original, but taken in the web, sometimes just a few words for a post and all that got money - I exactly saw it.
So I shared with my friends the idea of steemit but they couldn't understand me since they saw money for nothing.

But now it's absolutely changed, and that seem even strange to be able to deal with that amount.
