Great article. I think the "addictive" nature of Steemit could become problematic for certain personality types or genotypes.

There is considerable evidence that certain genetic subtypes have greater addictive potential and it may be associated with monoaminergic receptor subtypes of which there can be considerable variation within the population. Not sure if there have been any recent developments in the literature regarding this because there is so much to keep up with these days.

I think I read some years back about a study which showed reduced activation of the nucleus accumbens in those who exhibited addictive personality traits - I think there was some question as to whether this was the result of addictive behaviours (in terms of adaptation) or conversely was implicated in the aetiology of those behaviours themselves.

Anyway I can't remember the exact details and haven't seen any follow up recently although like I said don't keep up as much as I used to do to the huge amount of information coming in on a daily basis in medical sciences.

Sorry went of on bit of a tangent. My point was that there may be subtypes within the population who may become addicted to Steemit in a way that is even more powerful than platforms like Facebook due to the direct financial rewards.

Anyway nice to have you on board:) I look forward to reading more of your writing. Some neuroscience primers for the regular person - as well as commentary on recent research developments would be fantastic.
