This needed to be said to balance out all the short sighted steemit fapping and "just keep at it and eventually you'll be a whale" rhetoric.
I do think steemit has the potential to be much more though. POTENTIAL is the a key word here because it will only be as special and different as the users allow it to be and size does matter here. I fap from time to time but I try to be realistic with my fapping. Eventually this place is going to be dominated by SEO and spam, run into legal problems or be overrun by Facebook 2.0 when they steal the idea unless the witnesses and whales get their shit together and see how their hurting themselves and everyone else by thinking short term.
I'm still optimistic though, not for the long term but for what we can accomplish here before steemit goes mainstream. As with any platform or anything with the potential for profit, the early days are the best and we are still in the early days. There are tons of talented and forward thinking people here right now and it's easy to reach them. By focusing on community building we can plant the seeds for many things that could potentially outlive steemit if things go sour here. And if it just ends up being a few new friends for most of us, that's not so bad either.
Interesting view points, they may turn out to be true. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
