I've been an avid daily user of reddit for many years. I really enjoy reddit. I can't wait to see what Steem communities will do for Steem. It's difficult to know if Steemit does have their priority at the right place but we still have to give them the benefice of the doubt at least that's my opinion. They have a lot to chew on. The are not only developing the leading hedge of blockchain tech but also it's leading front-end and that's 2 major achievement with almost no precedent if at all.
Also reddit as gazillion more authors and also gazillion more professional one paid per companies. I really hope and think Steem will get there with time and effort.
Take care my Transisto! Have fun!
And, all the social aspects they are incorporating into it. It's really uncharted territory.
