RE: STOP WITH THE INTRODUCTIONS! NO ONES CARES WHO YOU ARE!
There's no need to be overly dramatic. Nothing is doomed. There is an abundance of high quality content, you just have to make the effort to look for it. It's there wether or not it has yet gained the recognition it deserves. If you don't like introduction posts, you don't have to read them. I agree with you, not all of them carry identical value as posts.....but they all represent valuable people (fake accounts aside.) A generous welcome helps to distribute steem more widely and in some cases the introductions have been extraordinary. Steemit is still in beta. There's plenty more time for everyone to find their feet and adjust to the new paradigm. As a trader, I guess fluctuations in the value of Steem is of great daily interest to you. On the other hand, many are interested in what the price will be in three months or a year or two. All the best.
I just want to see good stuff on the hot and popular topics because thats what new people are gonna check out and if its boring then it looks uninviting. I want quality not quantity. Just cause everyone can spell doesn't mean they should be a writer. If you aren't a good writer just stop, and start upvoting people who are writing about interesting topics. People figured out where the moneys at. Hot girls in bikini's always gets upvoted. It can't get any worse than that and introductions. Don't even get me started on introductions. Very few people can write interesting intro's and they have to have an interesting life also in order to do that. I read the intro from the Monero team member. That was decent stuff. Most people are just sitting on their asses or living boring lives that no one wants to hear about though.
I can understand some of your frustration. Consider though, that a new platform like Steemit may change people, encourage them to learn how to improve their writing skills or inspire them to lead a more interesting life, change their perspective, learn something of value.... There is a lot more going on here than is at first apparent. I believe things will improve from your point of view, from several directions.
We need that improvement soon bro.
