Completely agree with everything you said here. And it doesn't stop with steem social media! Any community will survive or fail due to the value it produces, and that value is always determined by the individual and collective efforts of the community.

Value can show up here in so many ways. It's not always a new post - I've found value in comments and especially resteems (which is how I found you!), and some of the folks who resteem value aren't who we might consider "Creatives". But they add value to the whole by recognizing value and spreading it.

Well, it's your post and I'll end my opus here. I mainly wanted to thank you for the work you're putting into the community. Went off on a rant lol.
