You have a lot of the same opinions I have about the platform. When I signed up for Steemit, just two weeks ago, I committed to myself that I would make at least 30 quality posts in my first 30 days. I figured that one month is very little to give in the grand scheme of things, and at the end of that month I would reevaluate and see how things are going. I wrote a bit of an update at my halfway point in my most recent post today. So far I couldn't be happier with the way things are working out.
