#HF20 (you can see the related posts there) is going to be a disaster, they're focusing on account creation fees to get the platform ready for millions of users. They're not planning to fix anything in HF20, so we will have to wait another few months for HF21.
It's very frustrating for a lot of people. I can't even imagine how it feels to work on content for hours and consistently getting $0.03.
Millions of users. Whoo hooo!! Should be so much easier to find and curate the exceptionally great content.
Sarcasm. Not always 100% obvious in written form
They're working on "communities" for steemit.com to help find content. But you're right, there's sooooooo much spam (below average quality content).
Still a better story than FB
For sure, but there's always room for improvement, right? ;)
Especially when something like SteemIt has revolutionary potential!
