I don't see Steemit as a social media TBH. For me is a blogging platform and it should stay that way.

This is not facebook and it shouldn't be. Not a place to hang selfies or memes. But a place to share knowledge and good content, real content.

But I agree this money-making thing is a problem for the platform. It should be advertised for what it is: a blockchain -based blogging platform. The money is kind of a consequence of the good content.

Well said.

That was pretty much what I hoped it would be, when I started here in January 2017. I like the old "social blogging" format of the days of Xanga, LiveJournal, Diary-X and others... but clearly that was not to be, and the original direction was somewhat lost when @dan and @ned parted ways...

But regardless, I think the platform would benefit from emphasizing the rewards as a consequence rather than the primary objective.
