I feel you but Steepshot is great. I think that social media is to be produced and consumed in short form. It's the easiest way to do outreach for steemit. Instead of telling people that they can monetize their lives by learning to become a long form blogger they can monetize simply by doing "instagram" like they do all day long anyway. I don't love that Steepshot takes 15% but it is worth it to grow the community I suppose.
