Congratulations for the exceptional post! I am involved with Steemit since the begining of the year and your article helped me to understand the dynamics of the platform more clearly. I know steemit has great potential but feel that lately it is loosing momentum - in my mind because of quality of content and current automation/ bots and the hiccups in terms of user friendliness, filtering of contents, etc. of course there are huge potential gains when these issues are somehow addressed and the platform is embraced by the masses. Thanks again for your interesting post!
