I agree with some of what you have to say. Coming to Steemit to post a quick meme and try and make a buck isn’t what I want to see either. However, in this day and age Steemit needs to adapt to the world around its and embrace change as it comes.
People don’t want to sit in front of their computer and spend a large chunk of time writing out a post and making sure they are coding it right to make sure they aren’t missing out on an upvote for an off centered image.
Introduce more ease of use for people to come and once they are here, let the community do the rest.
