A really nice post and you are touching the same topic as Exyle does in one of his vlogs. I think that Steemit can be compared to a game, but the game have several ways to be played.
My biggest concern for now is that there seems to be a lot of people on this platform just here to milk this site of money. Just look at the trending page and you will see people paying big bucks to be there because they know that it will be profitable.
But hopefully the platform can evolve and resolve some of it's problem because I really like it here :)
