I have been lucky enough to only meet great people here on Steemit. The community around me is amazing and so far Steemit seems a positive place. I know that it's just me living in my small bubble at the moment and there have been huge dramas here as well, but those are just people that envy others.
But I agree. Quality is the key and you can always remember that you can make your blog, comments to qualify for that. Start from yourself and then the world around you changes too.
