Hehe :) It is sad I have found out about steemit just recently. I guess you guys (early steemers) felt like you found a treasure and everything was allowed to you :)
On the other hand, I really like steemit as it is, I like competition, it drives you to do better and learn more. I am sure it will change with a time and I really hope to the better and then we will be one friendly family.
The only thing that bothers me is giants like facebook, twitter etc - they are different animals, but you never know, they are showing all the time that they can adjust. And in case they adjust, I hope it will not ruin Steemit.
