ive only been in it for 3 months like really active and i must say it seems like a greed fest and less about curation of quality content but simply who has enough skin in the game or willing to invest in it will rise to the top, so much for a meritocracy. You can see it by the poor engagement levels on posts its all just people trying to further their own ambitions of making easy money rather than supporting what could be an amazing content marketing tool

its clear that freedom of the platform has become country productive and instant gratification is the driving motive behind the behaviour on steemit. Somehow rules need to be put in place that makes this kind of thinking counter intuative if we are to get a more organic feed and interaction with content and one another..

Just my2 cents lol
