If one were to read, view and listen to all of the content and reach the conclusion that none of it had value, then from that subjective position you would have a point. On the other hand if, like me you have gained enormous value from other people's contribution and accept that the time, experience, awareness or talent required to generate the content deserves a financial reward in compensation then you might find there is very little in common with an MLM scheme. I hope you find something of value here that might put your unease at rest. I would also say that no platform like this has ever (to my knowledge) existed before, so a degree of unease may be natural as everyone tries to understand it. All the best and welcome!

I was about to type a response, but I could not have said it better. Great explanation.
Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping that the reward feature provides the incentive to create better content. One thing Ive noticed is that once a social media platform reaches the monetization phase, quality seems to go into free fall. Steemit seems to be starting from this position. Hopefully they will buck the trend. I've been looking around some more and there is definitely quite some value to much of the content here. Keeping an open mind!
