I agree. Most people probably do "think" that their content is supreme. But it's really more important what others think. And if you're only focused on how the bots are performing then you could potentially miss the boat (or the point of Steemit in general). In order to become successful here or on any other social or blogging site, you must focus on your audience and provide what they want. So you're right; I think that if you use upvote bots and don't actually have communication with your audience and listen to their needs, then you can fail miserably. That's why I always listen to you guys and gals and try my best to communicate with you all. Those upvote bots don't comment anything useful, lol. So I depend on you to tell me what you like, don't like, or aren't sure about. I made a video the other day on the 5 Things Every Steemit User Should Be Doing where I point out ways to grow your channel beyond using upvote bots: https://steemit.com/steemit/@brandonfrye/5-things-every-steemit-user-should-be-doing

And you're right that a lot of content here is about Steemit and/or crypto currencies. This is for two reasons: 1) Steemit is brand new so people are still trying to learn how to use it and make the most out of it. 2) A lot of people find Steemit due to their research into crypto currencies. So these are people who are already fascinated with crypto and that's what they like to talk about.

I've mentioned this before, but I know that Steemit will become more robust and have more variety as we continue to move forward and grow. Much like Facebook was all about college in it's early days, Steemit is all about crypto these days. So it's up to the new people coming on board to add to the variety. But that makes it all the better opportunity to dominate a category (or tag) and run with it. Lots of opportunity here for the early adopters. :)
