This place doesn't suck, it is just like a knife. If you use it to stab and hurt people it is a bad thing but if you use it to cut food it is good. You don't go into a home and stick your nose into its cesspool and judge the place as a cesspool and is full of shit. #steemit is a place for kind-hearted people to show love and care for other people in a flash unlike in FB or other social media where you will die before you get a buck or never.
yeah, but will it remain the same when all the fleas from facebook come to suck up... I'm over-exaggerating a bit, but this place was flooded with spam and scam and now it's reward pool bs, and bidbots, ..... I wouldn't say it's not a cesspool too, it's kind of everything just like any other place,
Do you know how many people have come here and made great stories, shared and left because 0.00 and no interest, no real way to float up unless a whale votes you then all the other guys just follow you, because they get scraps from time to time too.... Yeah it's great, but it's not really that great.
I'm very new here, but agree with @cryptopie. At least here you have control over who you put into your feed. If you're essentially following the money trail, then expect to be deluged by junk.
