It's a bit of a double edged sword that the default page is 'trending' and thus what many users see as the main content is directly linked to how upvoted and well earning the posts are. I definitely agree that it's all about value and passion, but I can be the devil's advocate and see how the default view of the network is stacked in favor of the money.

That said, I'm excited for the future and the changes to come. And I may have a steemit addiction.
