Just like in any MMORPG grind is the name of the game. Same can be said about Steem, it is a grind, but most of us enjoy the grind because we control it, no bosses, nobody can tell us what to do. I think that is something great that Steem can do for us if we let it.
the ability to grind is something I kind of feel is a fading skill as instant gratification has encroached further into our lives and especially online where people are used to consuming more than the process of creation.
Just this aspect is attractive for me.
