It's posts like this, and the comments that come from it that make Steemit different, IMO.
I'm also glad that there seem to be more and more people willing to stand up and make the point that the community has to become more proactive and forward looking because you can't upvote yourself into infinity.
Others just self vote, despite the censure of the community. This is essentially futile, as for accounts without substantial holdings of SP the rewards for self votes are insubstantial, and for the largest holders of SP, are replacing the vibrant community (necessary to grow Steemit into the future) with a steady income - as long as Steemit lasts.
I hope TPTB at Steemit heed these warnings.
I like how steemit is self regulating in a way. And yes there are quirks but the important thing is that creativity is rewarded and I think we are on the right track.
Me too. I like Steemit. I would like to see it grow and enable many communities to take it where it enables them to go.
