RE: If we want Steemit mass adoption we should let go of platform romanticism
Share the same opinion. More so, I see that people use words and people have some deep wishes. And that what they say and what they realy wish is somehow not alligned. We talk to express our morality. But morality (aka saying "this is bad", "this is good", "this is bad",...) is not heart expression, it is consensus. Evolution has copied paterns of love and generated a primitive programm/codex from ist. Wich is just a shell. When we publicly call things bad which are per consensus "bad", other people applause us and the morality as a living organism gets stronger and stronger, taking the response-ability to react as an indiviual with true love from us.

Great stance, thank you for sharing!
I think that when it is our most Hearfelt vision to see Steemit mass adoption then we have to compromise on certain levels. That doesn't mean of course that we need to fall into the other extreme immediately and make this platform hostile and full of spam but to accept that mass adoption virtually inevitably entails the signing up of people who post for self-promotion, selfies or just random stuff. This IS already taking place on the platform to some extend but this is from my viewpoint not collapsing the platform but one of the main keys to make mass adoption a reality. If we don't like that trend, ok, but then we shouldn't say we want mass adoption. We cannot expect the entire world to become "high-quality" bloggers.
There is no need to attempt to make the platform fit for certain type of people, because it is exactly this attempt which pushes away people. I think this even starts when people oversensitively downvote people who just write "I like your post" and dismiss it as spam.
Your words are written in the chain, so we are lucky!
Thanks a lot for your point of view!!
