I would characterize Steemit as the landscape that is inhabited by wolves and armies and families etc.

That is indeed far more accurate and I totally agree with this analogy. It's just that, in the beginning, a wolf pack mentality tends to be dominant. Like I said, I have nothing against it or for it, it's just the way it is. But in some corners of Steemit it's true that some machines and families are forming and, probably, some living organisms as well.

Very well put :)
