"How steemit can be a knowledge centre even for layman"
Totally agree, the potential of Steemit is far greater than folks making quick bucks on posting about Steemit and cryptocurrencies (though I am OK with such entrepreneurship, and I'm learning a lot from those posts!).
I look at posts like: https://steemit.com/steem/@artakan/this-table-will-help-you-pick-up-the-right-tag-for-your-post and see that "science" has some ranking, but "art" doesn't, just as examples of how to measure cultural flows. So if we want to see Steemit as a true and better competitor to Facebook, Reddit and the like, and become so very much more (as your post portends) then it is imperative that posts on people's search for knowledge find popularity and help fund their lifestyles to allow further knowledge to be gained.
"see Steemit as a true and better competitor to Facebook, Reddit and the like, and become so very much more (as your post portends) then it is imperative that posts on people's search for knowledge find popularity and help fund their lifestyles to allow further knowledge to be gained." How apt. I actually hope that arts in academia will find some standing too.
