Money should not be your only incentive to use this decentralized platform. Because in the long run, that attitude will be the thing that will destroy steemit. People should really interact with eachother, that’s also what will give the topics something xtra. Now you often see posts and people just chasing the carrot on a stick.
That attitude is already here and already hurting steemit. The upside is that these issues are some of the few posts that actually seem to generate genuine, thoughtful interaction between users. However, steemit won't do that well unless it can expand to quality content that is not so incestuous. As a fan of economics podcasts (especially EconTalk) this place is a truly fascinating experiment.
apart from the truth this crazy one-liner of a post just dished, this last statement of yours comes a close second.
