I think one of the great things about Steemit is, there will be room for everyone. The issue at the moment is that it's hard to get the content you want but I think it will not be long before we see apps that sift through the noise to show us what we are interested in. There are a few examples already.
Like you, the level of discourse was one of the attractions for me to Steemit and also one of the reasons I never joined Facebook. I am very optimistic for the quality of the content here. There are a few killer USPs to this platform.
indeed. Ideally once the communities feature rolls out.... checks watch... there will be communities for everything, and we wont have to worry about how to find the content we're actually interested in, and how for our content to find it's way to the people who are interested in it
I'm hopeful there will be room for everyone, too. I just wish we had a better "sort mechanism" for viewing posts... but I expect that will come in time, especially when the long promised "communities" feature becomes a reality.
