I don't know how relevant this is, but re:quality control, I was JUST having a conversation with some friends about how a lot of media sites (esp YouTube) have seen mega decrease in content quality. I came to steemit in part because I really want a close online community of creatives and deep thinkers who want to focus less on monetary gain and more on creations and conversations. While a lot of topics aren't pleasant to discuss, nor should they be, the way we engage can at least be less self serving. Same in content. I have a lot of hope for this platform. I'm new, but I'm hoping I can contribute to a positive space here.
