I have to say it's been an enjoyable experience so far here on Steemit, so I agree that there is a different atmosphere. Maybe it is the international flavor or maybe it's just more likeminded people in the same space. At any rate, I know it's not all roses here, but so far, I've liked what I've seen.

I agree with you about the overthinking of what to write. It would be nice if people had an idea of what they were going to write before they started a blog or jumped on Steemit, but part of being here is finding out what people value. I don't think the platform is mature enough yet to completely determine all of the possibilities, not when the more popular posts are more about raving about Steemit (which is fine) or making predictions about upswings in one of the cryptocurrencies. There are some others that have some success but the diversity isn't there yet because there isn't enough diverse thought here yet.

I suppose those of us here will always have interest in the money side, just because that's how Steemit is built--and that is a cause for celebration. But Steemit is much more, and it will take more people coming in to realize that potential.

I'm not sure what that's going to look like, since it already seems crowded, but I'd like to at least think there's room enough for all of those who truly want to see Steemit flourish as a platform and a community.

Thank you for sharing this.
