There are many advantages and disadvantages to a site like Steemit. As Steemit gathers more steam with more and more users, I am sure that there could be an overload of information.
The trouble today is finding sources that are reliable and with content that is unbiased. And that is not controlled in some way. A site like Steemit can offer a great platform for content that is reliable...but it may be difficult to weed out all the noise as there are so many people added to the site.
Time will tell what kind of overall platform this will turn into. I myself am interested to see the forward progress of such a site.
Thanks for the post.
