RE: Lack Of Diversity In Content
Indeed. That's why Steem isn't "social media" like the others. It's montized content (posts), curation (upvotes) and interaction of content (comments). There is no chat between people apart from comments (no PM). And also montizing simple sharing of content is pretty scammy, so you can't do like FB or twitter of sharin glink. Othrs do work to create content, what is the point of that if all you have to do is share content someone else made and rake in the money for near 0 effort. Makes for a pretty worthless platform in my eyes. I don't see why anyone would want to buy into a platform where all you do is share content and make money (like dlike does). Merit of doing work to earn your way means something to me.
"doing work" is open to interpretation. Some might consider self-upvoting "work" and other might consider content delivery via sharing "work". One could say that we are lacking a consensus mechanism to agree upon what constitutes work in this ecosystem, or perhaps we don't use it to its greatest extent.
