Thank you for your reply - it is, though, one of the consequences of the architecture of steemit that it is, in essence, anti-social. There is an opportunity to interact with posts, not people.
One's greatest interaction is with one's own status and rewards.
There is nowhere to seek a repository of information without trawling through and filleting endless posts.
Hence, you have had to kindly write this to me, though I am aware that it is with a bit of a sigh of resignation.
I am a great fan of the blockchain capability. I am equally a great fan of steemit - you would only have to read what i write to gather that.
I am not a fan of anything which calls itself social and has the gall to value a person hundreds of thousands of times more than another. No amount of early adoption or early movers risk can justify that after about 6 months. We all know it is iniquitous and steemit has to address that.
The snail and the tortoise suddenly come to mind!
