Reasons are true... and could be summed up in one post, no need to milk the system for 6 posts pretty much all saying the same thing. It is the metagame that I'm criticizing. Yeah, we all get that Steemit is great, that's why we are here, but we could stop with the circlejerking. A million people have posted the same thing while giving the same explanations. I don't want to see groupthink bubbles being encouraged on the platform. I understand that it's temporary and people have a right to profit off this phenomenom while they still could, but it's time to move past this to truly grow Steemit sustainably.
Viral != network effect. Steemit has already gone viral. Now it's time to focus more on the internal network effects for sustainable growth.
