Thank you for posting the replay. Very interesting.

And thank you for bringing up that there are a lot of different users in the world with different interests. Personally, I find it very disturbing when people start talking about quality and are using their idea of quality as a measure of what that should be for everyone else. That is censorship in a way. In my opinion, that has no place in a decentralized platform.
Nobody has to see or upvote posts they don't like. That is all it takes.
And I know there is the bit bot problem - that any post can be trending as long as a person has enough money to make it so. That is a direct reflection of how the world works.
I actually came here with the hope that the platform would be different - but it is not in that respect. What is different is the strong and supportive communities that have formed here and they are what make this platform strong and able to survive in the long run.
The Daaps are great but if they have no users, they are not worth a thing. Many networks have disappeared because they only looked at the tech side and not valuing the users. The latest example is Google plus.

I truly hope that Steem is not going that way. Right now, I see way too much value placed on the tech people and not that much on the community people. We need both...
