This might sound odd, but perhaps this is a good time to loosen up a bit regarding Steemit; don't take it too seriously. I mean, a descent into mockery and jokes wouldn't be good either, but to be consumed by social media is the other extreme and personally I think it should be avoided. It reminds me a bit of the brilliant Black Mirror episode 'Nosedive', in which society as a whole is kind of addicted to online ratings and the main character coping with it.
