Agree with @daydreams4rock - intelligent community with less trolls than on other platforms - i see this not as a platform but as an ecosystem around a crypto currency with so many great 3rd party apps on the blockchain, one can find news every day, great content, exciting model.
The voting system is also a powerful tool for all community members to fight spammers with down voting them - this is a topic that is more and more important the more users join and when the heavy marketing is starting the influx can be controlled by us as the community. That is something I really see as a major value of steemit
thnx buddy and i am following you now as well -- i appreciate your comment- David
Cheers mate - will follow back
