I'm a returning steemian. I had stopped before because people used to prioritize earnings in their posts and it's too obvious. Most posts used to be clickbait or recycled topics. If people express their ideas more, I think steemit will become interesting and people will come regardless if they earn money. Let's use reddit or twitter as an example. Each posts doesn't have to be serious. We can simply start a discussion and upvote each other's useful comments.
