RE: Why do I keep using Reddit (as opposed to just Steem)?
Steem's active user base (think small town population) is very small and also scattered across the globe. As a social network this makes it hard to find common interests as country of origin, language, culture can vary so greatly.
It's true that Steem is still small, but it's still large enough to support certain interests. You don't have to have huge numbers of people, particularly not if the topic isn't all that niche (for example there should be plenty enough for a 'politics' or 'news' sub, but Steem isn't really used for that outside of stuff that would be censored on more mainstream sites.
If you check the news tag, the results are absolutely nothing like what you'd get on reddit.com/r/news or /r/worldnews
Also trending is broken AF.
