I'm of the opinion that all of this Steemit posting should be something reserved to the chat website. Why are people being rewarded for talking about Steemit to other users on Steemit? Sure, some of these posts are creative, but I'm not sure how technical updates and internal squabbles add value as content - and I certainly don't understand whales upvoting their own Steemit posts and comments about Steemit. This prevents rewards from reaching other creators. If whales want to compete on actual content for available SD, they should have to do so. But that's not what happens. It's getting really old and I don't see how it attracts quality creators.
