Expect it to get better soon, TJ. There is a whole community of developers and designers (www.utopian.io), solely dedicated to improving every aspect of the Steemit platform, so i'm confident that we will see a lot of improvements and new features soon.
Also I added you to something called GINAbot - it notifies me when you upload a new post or a video, so following you here is now much easier.
Steem on! and hail to the #asshole-empire! :D
Edit: Also I really appreciate you accepting my graphic contribution to your post. Your description of Youtube as Lawful Evil and Steemit as Neutral Chaotic had totally inspired me :) I might take this theme further in a future post of mine.
