In the end Steemit is what you want to be. If you see it as merely a cash-machine, a new kind of daily-job, it can be that and that's fine because there are places in the world where no other job pays as well with so little risk.
If you are one of the many guys from Aceh or Bangladesh or Nigeria or who knows else that spend your time posting pictures and trying to turn a buck from those pictures Steemit lets you do that and that's ok.
But it also let's you engage and create community. I've met beautiful people I would have never met otherwise.
Thanks for resteeming this, @mejustandrew. BTW, i've noticed you still have a lot of place for approved witnesses (9 approved, 21 empty slots) :-)
Yes, but it is definitely possible for a Steem daily job to be much more engaging.
I have heard stories about how Steem has changed lives, as people use voting power to give people in places like Venezuela a basic income that could change their lives.
Absolutely. If I had the choice (e.g. with @ranchorelaxo's SP) I'd rather work at producing steem content than doing 99% of any other job one can think of
I will, Sorin, when I'll get home :)
