The thing I love about Steem is that I find it to be a consistently positive experience. I've had maybe two or three negative experiences during my whole time here, and a couple times when I went on and it was just a slow day (cough or a hardfork went wrong cough) but I have had hundreds or thousands of positive experiences for each bad one.
It's just a great platform for communication because people have stake in actually contributing to the point that it's worth something.
I like to think of it as the difference between my college required discussion boards back in the day, where everyone just wrote what they had to to get by, and the sort of conversations you'd have with friends. It's wonderful how much you can connect to people.
