Is Steemit a good place to ask questions?

While it doesn't appear to be the norm, I feel like questions about certain topics could be infinitely helpful to people by the answers they're given in the comments.

This would make Steemit a little bit more like Reddit. But unlike Reddit where questions are sometimes answered with great detail and expertise, Steemit rewards the poster who answers the question most effectively and thoroughly.

This post is both a question and corresponding experiment, I look forward to replies in the comments :)
