Really good post, @midlet ! It is a tricky situation... I think since Steemit is still on beta, there's still a lot that can be improved. But to be honest, when I opened Steemit's trending page and see its contents, it is not a very respectable collection, sometimes. Compared to Medium.com, for example, there are really valuable articles that mainstream audience can read or be referred to, over there. But Steemit is mired with a lot of users who are creating contents that aren't yet at that level.

I wish the platform succeeds, I really do. But there's branding and reputation that will need to be really curated well before Steemit can get anywhere proper, I think.

Anyway, great article <3
