Like I said, I started out just wanting to run the Steem Blockchain, see how it works and all (and then they closed it off to people like me, I guess).
So now I just like to use it like any other Social Media site, post my story, things I'm interested in, etc.
One thing I will say:
What may be a 'shit post' to one person, may be something another person just wants to share (like posting photos of their pets, etc.).
