This is a great article @taskmaster4450 and I 100% agree with everything you wrote. I feel the people who stick around are definitely doing it for something beyond the money, however, to improve unity in the Steemit community there has to be a clear definition of what Steemit wants to be: a blog, and Instagram of beautiful pictures, a crowdsourcing place for jobs, a contest driven platform, a place for bots to multiply your money...

Maybe the same things that make Steemit great and open and undefined play a role in its success and the overall quality vs. quantity ratio. It can't be all about strategies, schemes and hacking the system. I think the latter play against a united community.

I do believe in Steemit and the core values of cryptos. And that makes me come again and again, even if I can't post, I want to know more about this group of like-minded people and hopefully build strong bonds. I like to upvote on posts with valuable content and I also want to get feedback to improve my posts as well.

Interacting, like @fullcoverbetting points out is key for this community to thrive and take over.
