All very true! (However Facebook and Reddit don't pay you for your votes, or your content that they profit from.) This is new territory, and I won't spam here but just did a pretty decent post totally agreeing with you. I've said in comments and articles many times, Content is King, Cream Rises, comment, build an organic following, and play "the long game" here because the price will go up (as the user base increases, as you said) and all of our micro-pennies just might turn into a whopping retirement fund as every college kid in Uzbekistan (ie, everywhere) signs up here just to get a free blog. The platform is still in Beta, building a great platform is what is happening now as committed users add their content and technological skills. It's awesome to be in on the ground floor still i think.
