If Steemit is to become the future of social media, I couldn't be more than happy about it. People like to complain about the amount of low quality content they see on Steemit, but I see it somewhat differently.
I've found some of the most amazing articles here on Steemit. Compared to some of the stuff I see on Facebook, Steemit has some really well-thought-out content from both new and established creators.
The idea of Steemit becoming some form of basic-income doesn't actually sound that strange to me. You can literally start from scratch and earn a decent income after some hard work. After that you can keep earning without having to post.
I agree with you... there are articles that are terrible while others are also very good. There is a mixture with the quality content far outweighing the trash.
Steemit will not only become the future of social media, but also introduce a new way of living!
