The author had many keen points to share about the problems inherent on steemit and the core problems of curation and quality of content and comments on this platform. I appreciate the no-nonsense and straight to the point writing style of the author and his 11 points at the start of this post saved me a decent amount of time in sorting through and organizing all the weird nuances that I have been noticing on steemit in my thick skull.

I have ironically been inspired to convert more of my steem into steempower than initially planned to at least throw a few more cents to comments and posts that provide value. I recently did a few posts and was shocked to see how much of the comments were for pure personal promotion and I felt it detracted from the people who genuinely could have benefitted from the knowledge I can share.

Despite being a successful entrepreneur and wanting to give back to people who might be starting out and do not have access to a strong network, I came here to find self-promoters who upvoted and commented without even taking advantage of the opportunity to ask me questions and it discouraged me from wanting to help people starting out in business.

The first commenter comes off as very intelligent and analytical and I appreciate reading both points of view to expand my horizon. I felt the original post was a nice kick in the butt to step up my game, our game, in improving our quality of writing and presentation, and I would love to see you post more on how we can step up our game.
