I agree, the price of Steem and chance to make money and it being an equalizer against the centralized giants and blahblah is awesome .. but even besides that Steemit itself seems thoughtfully designed to me.

Of course it's the infancy and needs various features. But the commenting history and the replies history is really intuitive to me, it's how a social media site should be. Facebook and youtube by comparison are so clunky, in that there's no way to see a user's commenting history, and there isn't a clean way to check all replies to make sure you don't miss them.

Meaningful discussions in youtube comments is basically impossible. People would probably take more pride in what they say if there was some easy way to view all of their history. So even besides reputation and money (which of course is major, and discourages hate and spam etc), the Steemit site itself seems like the right way to design social media.

It's kind of ironic that it most resembles Reddit, and on Reddit they discourage the personal connection aspect and want it to be basically an impersonal message board.

P.S. I wouldn't call myself an anarchist because it's a socially misunderstood word that is forceably tainted. I am a critical thinker though, and socially there is nothing wrong with that yet.

It's only wrong when you're correct with your conclusions :p
