Good post, @firepower!

1 million users is a huge figure but it comes at a cost. Let me explain more with a question.

Which one is better - having a user base of a fraction of that figure but with excellent content, or 1 million users with below average content, spam and other unwanted material?

It is a great achievement but l think lots remains to be done. Hope Steemit emerges as one of the best sites in the future.

I just wrote about the same topic - in case anyone is interested:
