I'll bite in the most cordial way luzcypher. My first corporate job when I was sixteen had a meme at the cash till that has stayed with me: 'it's nice to be important but more important to be nice'. ( how the corporate world has changed:(
That said, I do agree with much that you've said but also have criticisms of the Steemit template.
-the algorithms here make Steemit one of the most censored sites on the net. Most of the trending page is filled with those that bought their way there. I'll use a golf analogy to help flesh this out. In golf, it's really easy to prove merit, not so with the trending page on Steemit. Now, it's not entirely true though as one can judge syntax and grammar in writing, production value in music and video, but even factoring in those parameters most of the stuff at the top of the heap here has been bought and doesn't merit the exposure, IMO.
-I've come across few places in real life where virtue signaling, obsequiousness, and sycophantic brown nosing is the norm as it is here on Steemit. Except maybe in the golfing world! This aspect of Steemit is definitely fake compared to real life.
Well, I guess my criticism is minimal in that regard as that's about it. Yes, though, there is no Social Media site as good as steemit at the moment.
Good post, Cheers!
