RE: Community Question: If you're an investor who actually buys STEEM, does the popularity of "pick games" attract you?

I like it, though don't really pursue participating vigorously. Some of the topics are, IMO, nonsensical. But folks have a right to be frivolous, nonsensical, silly or whatever else tickles their fancy.
I participate in SteemSports and once in awhile some of the others, when I see them. But I'm often too pressed to spend time on them too, so just skip over.
I see some negativity folks are pressing on some of these efforts. IMO, it's silly. There's no real objective reason I can perceive to attack them. There are different ways to bring value to Steemit. If it's getting a lot of attention, then (unless it's objectively disruptive or destructive) it seems like the community has already spoken. Steemit Inc can put their foot down if they want. Otherwise, the market has spoken.
