Yes I completely agree with you and this is my intake on it. There is of course positive and negative in almost anything that we participate in but Steemit on the whole has got a lot of positives that outweighs the negatives and that is why we are still writing and sharing everyday.
Everyday, I go in and read some posts, upvotes some and comment on some and I must say that I’ve been very impressed by the quality of a few posts, the ones that you can see the writer had actually put in a lot of time, thoughts and effort and I really love reading those posts.
As you said, there are so many posts daily and your post gets lower down very quickly so it’s quite disheartening if you’ve spent a lot of time writing the post and not many people seen or read it, and if the post get past 7 days, there’s no point to upvote it, maybe that is something we could think about how to improve the system.
The other thing is I would like a way to make friend and send messages easier as I haven’t yet try Steem chat.
But at the end of the day I think the positive still outweighs the negative so maybe we should just carry one and hope that our little contribution goes towards making the world a better place. What do you think?
