Hi, i'm new here,
I am interested in promoting the idea of a currency of 'esteem' in our daily transactions and toward this end I will be learning a lot about steemit and its future by reviewing these types of threads and possibly jumping in and giving an opinion, suggestion or observation. I'm also working on ideas for a basic new 'face' (interface/look/feel), as I don't want to just make complaints without working on solutions...
On rewards:
The only measure for the 'quality' of a post should be in the number of upvotes it gets from people who have appreciated the post.
If my cat picture gets more upvotes than a doctoral thesis on a forgotten language, so be it...
Networking, reciprocity and collaboration mechanisms are the things that should bring in the upvotes and the rewards.
Also on rewards:
I'd like to reward the writer that drew me to Steemit - and get rewarded for those I refer that join in... Is there such a reward program?
