Thank you for posting this article. My account was finally verified today after a long waiting period so this is my first actual comment on a post.
What worries me a little about steemit as a very new user is that it seems like there are far more content creators than consumers currently. This leads to a lot of people that “talk AT one another” promoting their own content in an effort to get noticed and increase their own power, which can make it easy for new users that have great content to get overlooked.
Hopefully this will change with increased mainstream platform adoption and more content consumers entering the space.
Either way, I am very excited about this platform and I hope it does well, and hopefully it will get easier for noob content creators to hit the ground running in the future.
