The Steemit Daily Dose: @mindhunter Discusses The Reward Pool Replenishment And Asks 'Are We Here To Create And Build A Community Or Are We Here Just To Make Money?'

Exactly my thought. This platform is -- imho -- ugly in its design, poorly-functional, buggy, boring (for now, at least), slow and not user-friendly at all. Some users in here jumped at me as soon as I posted my first post and they sounded pretty obsessed with a proof of identity I should give somehow... Come on, folks, this doesn't happen on Instagram or Tumblr, and I get waaaay more community appreciation on those platforms. So, if not for the money, then what for?

A lot of value judgements, from your opinion.
Lets break that opinion down a smudge:

These are all the same thing, summarized in "not user-friendly at all":
ugly, poorly-functional, boring
These are all the same thing, summarized in "poorly-functional"
buggy and slow.

Do they hold any water though?
What bugs are there right now?
What could you enunciate on "slow and poorly-functional"?
Why is it not user-friendly AT ALL?

Come on, folks, this doesn't happen on Instagram or Tumblr, and I get waaaay more community appreciation on those platforms.

Yeah, I guess you came to realize that you weren't on instagram or tumblr, but a place that offers decentralized resilient content, and transparency. Seeing how those platforms are grandpas compared to steem in terms of age considering the relatively fast pace world of the internetz, it should be obvious that a platform that is vastly different from twiter, facebook, or any other social media in its basic functions and relatively still new (notice that little blue text under the steemit logo?) will not give you the same experience as those behemoths.

So, if not for the money, then what for?
You tell me, it seems you're under the impression that this is more rewarding than the zillion other things which make one money, as I wouldn't call it for the money, chump change maybe, rewarded more than any other social media platform yes, but for the money?. please.
