I agree.
There's a ton of collaboration, and art projects, community projects, and comedy groups, and foodies and gardeners and don't forget all the contests! ...basically "doers" working together that lend to the community feel. I think it was touched on by the author just a tad when Ned was quoted as saying that steemit (and the possibility of earning steem) brought out the 'collaboration" of its users. But it was sort of buried.

On the other hand, press is good! Andrew McMillen has written twice now about steem and steemit, and I think it's great that he's covering the crypto scene/steem and bringing it to 'the masses" if you will.

But as many of us already know....People come for the steem, stay for the experience. ;0)
