Like you, I looked at steemit because it is something very different than anything else that has been done before. I have said it before, and I will say it again -- this has the potential to be a truly revolutionary platform. I think one reason that I am adopting this more than I every have adopted the likes of facebook is that there is less clickbait! When there is clickbait, it is usually downvoted enough that it become irrelevant. The only thing that troubles me so far is that there is so much good (non steemit-related) material that just doesn;t get visibility.
