Hey Corinna. I just wrote a post recently, that treated some of the same issues you touch on here, - especially the following discussion. I agree with many of the absurdities you describe, maybe especially the time it takes to create art - compared to the minute time frame you have to share it here. I was just recently talking to my wife (who's a singer, who finally released an album after about 1,5 years hard work). About five of her 1000+ friends on Facebook listened to it - and one person actually bought it. My point being, that people rarely appreciate the efforts we put into things. Contemporary society seems used to instant gratification - and spending time appreciating something by getting to know it, seems a rare commodity. Not just on Steemit, but in general. Steemit's structure may simply be a reflection of that: a sign of the times, if you will. Anyway - thanks for an exciting read, and feel free to take part in the debate on the other post here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@initforthemoney/steemit-s-three-major-problems
