I think that Steemit can be a postive force for sure. If you are committed to posting original consitently, it just feels different and not as much like "forced promotion" on other social media platforms. I think this probably has something to do with the upvote response. You can feel how people are chooing to vote with and delegate SP. It's not the same as getting likes on insta where you just want as many as possible. It can be more important who is viewing than how many.

As far as cover art goes, I like number 5 in the 2nd group (right side.) The words within the design help them pop more, and I like that the background color is similar to the Steemit logo. Keeping it in a similar color scheme of the site.

Looking forward to the release! Appreciate all the hard work you are putting in for Steemit. Carving your name into the tome of Steemit legends now.
