Can we see the day when Steem is the new Reddit?
One of the first things that I learnt about Steem is the ambition to replace social and content creating site like Reddit, and that excited me very much since I know how powerful the community is from Reddit Except it did not come true and Steem is still merely a subset of Reddit, or subreddit technically(sadly).
Most powerful resource of opinions
Over the years, I've developed a habit whenever I need opinions on anything, I fire a Google search with a query like "reddit what is the best ...". Chances are there are at least a couple of threads discussing exactly the same topic, or even better that there is a subreddit community made for the very topic specifically.
What is the best tool for xxx? Product A vs product B? Is xxx reliable? Review of some random shits? You might be amused sometimes how deep people over there can go on a simple question, and most of the response feels real and quality. I often find myself spending too much time on a single thread that is full with thoughtful discussion and can't help to stop reading all of it.
This is everything I need Steem to be since the announcement of Hivemind development but I guess we won't see the release anytime soon.

It's possible! I love that we get paid and it's rational we could overtake Reddit.

Just waiting on free and instant account creation, that's honestly what I feel is holding the platform back. And yes, it's a technical issue... One that should have been baked into the system since launch. One problem personally is lack of good multi accounts also... A person wants 3 things typically inline, a professional profile, a personal profile, and an anonymous profile (because we don't want to speak our mind and be embarrassed in front of our friends, a testing ground for our thoughts is done well online and anonymous). Steem(it) doesn't fulfil this role very well for multiple identites.... It's doable, but uncomfortable as an end user.
