Great commentary on Steemit, as there are many different kinds of user profiles, there are as many perspectives on the future of the Social Media Token project. Steemit poses an incredible potential for the evolution of social media connecting people from all over the world, from various backgrounds and disciplines. Places like #Steemgigs and user-led crowdsourcing like @Steembasicincome give me hope that the current state of uncertainty, as you say, isn't forever.
I cannot admit to an extensive experience with Steemit, as I was introduced recently by word-of-mouth and then became a contributor to a now-defunct guild (@earthnation), I've used bid-bots when promised returns faltered. Still, there's plenty to make of it for ourselves, more so than that of Facebook or even Myspace ever offered. My artwork has found its way to the feeds of hundreds of other fellow artists and illustrators, so I'm grateful for the reblogging bots and spotlight feeds. Since joining @Steemauto and @smartsteem, from the beginning, I understood for this whole thing to work, we've got to share the wealth and build each other up. The real interest in advancements made in ETH blockchain technology and interconnectivity in the background that will unchain STEEM from its fishbowl domain and into the vast Internet ocean. Savvy bloggers, journalists, weekend writers, even artists can self-publish their works here and because of Proof-of-Brain validate some semblance of value, at least champion a sustainable, passive income stream from producing and sharing original content online is enough to commit to Steemit.
Yes, keep your head up and forward, as we're here now forging tomorrow.
