Thanks for this. Enjoyed reading your perspective. I signed up for Steem in July 2016, thanks to @lukestokes. I loved the technology, however, I’m not much of a blogger. Work and family consume a large part of my time. I only get a few short blips of time here and there. This is why I enjoy reddit, as I can choose the type of content I want to read based on the subreddit I’ve hoped into. I hate going Facebook and seeing the same new story 10 times, mixed with 5 other news articles, peoples drama, etc. it’s hard to filter everything on there.

I am excited to see apps built on top of Steem and I’m sure it will only get better with smart media tokens. For the way I enjoy to consume content, I’m most excited about #chainbb. It’s similar to a reddit, and appears to be moderated-ish/not moderated. If I understand how that works, I think it’s a brilliant way to be able to moderate (perhaps filter is a better word) content, without silencing someone to the point where no one can ever see it, ie: deletion. Blockchain FTW!
