I think we are basically on the same line.
At first I believed that this could and would be a really awesome decentralized social media platform. Where one as bonus could earn some money. And real good bloggers could earn quite some money.
Nowadays it looks more like a crypto game that basically doesn't have any ethical rules.
Steemit could be showing that it's almost impossible to create a decentralized platform that works pretty well.
But I still keep my hopes up for a social media platform that financially rewards its users in such a way that at least 95% of the users agree to the system. Which also should really in higher numbers of active users and keeping them to hang around for a long(er) period of time.
