Great perspective! I also believe that too many expect this to become the next Facebook when in reality it could be much better! I actually like the fact that #Steemit is unlike Facebook as a social media platform. Blogging is much more value-based than knowing what people are eating or where they are checking in at every moment of the day.

Regarding the need to follow high profile names, I myself have been surprised on how wrong this is. I have been evaluating my experience during the #minnowuprising initiative and have found some interesting results when it comes to curation. I am still analyzing more data to share on a future post.
