RE: Everything is Becoming Buzzfeed
It'll definitely take a while before the mass of Steemians turn their heads away from the payouts, especially since the $$$ and voting power is so explicitly stated in this interface... I do feel so refreshed when my articles are challenged and my opinions confronted. It reminds me of the days I was a part of debate club in high school and people weren't afraid to voice potentially unpopular opinions or hurt a few feelings for the sake of learning.
Yeah I think there will always be the people who use the platform just for the monetary gains, but this post is a perfect example of how it only really takes a few active readers to get the discussion going, which is enough to keep me coming back to Steemit and posting more and more.
