Moving in to this attention economy we are faced with some new ways of looking at things. I think the biggest value in STEEM is not the vote it is the interactions with others it is reading that story that touches you or seeing that photo from some part of the world you would love to visit. The people we meet and connections made are priceless. This is the true value in STEEM.... the votes are nice and do come with time and giving to others sharing your appreciation for the time people take to write and share there world.
