This is great to read. I'm doing what I can to try and bring fellow artists and creative friends to Steemit. I think as long as people who deliver quality content are rewarded fairly, this platform will thrive. The one thing that's a bit disconcerting, however, is the way people publishing bs are using bots to boost their views and get paid.. It seems like there's still a lot of loopholes that allow tech-savy folks to make $ on here without actually contributing anything valuable to the community. idk if there's anyway this can be stopped, but it would be nice to click on the trending page and actually find the best articles and content--or at least quality articles and content.
