Indeed, I have felt overwhelmed by Steemit.com. Many others have felt that way too as evidenced by numerous posts by steemers to that effect. I'm sure you have seen them too.

Steemit IS overwhelming! This is because of all the 100,000s of man hours put into the project so far; idea people, developers, bloggers, all contributing to Steemit's snowballing momentum. We are experiencing changes of epic proportions. I don't need to tell you how important money is and it's significance in the world, but cryptocurrency and blockchains are revolutionizing our future right now.

With free-flowing cryptocurrency as it's blood, a designable, growing blockchain as it's body and an incentizied new social media as it's soul , you have a triple whammy! Behold the birth of a new kind of intelligent entity destined to reform and animate an entirely new kind of human civilization.
