Hi there -I was briefly on dlive when it was here and after it moved to the lino blockchain. I decided not to continue to publish content there as I did not agree with how they chose to handle what should have been a clear violation of basic common sense, decency and ToS. The folks I met were nice, but the one situation ruined it for me. There was also a distinct lack of other real content aside from livestreaming and video uploads which was unfortunate. 

As for the follow up, I think you answered your own question. I think offshoots have their purpose in pursuing a deeper interest in a specific subject, passion or hobby, just as i think steemit is a great way to get a lot of content in one place. I believe both are necessary!

Thanks for this question!

What other platforms or faucet do you know to get coins? Without investment there is no scam, you should know a lot about Crypto for your profession.

SMTs should provide a lot of opportunities

It a misery that i felt only God can explain.  However,  the two waters may have some different cohesive chemical components  or elements  apart from the normal Hydrogen and Oxygen.

I think people take full advantage of bots and thats why you see so much divide on this platform. I don't respect people who pay to upvote their own posts with bots.

I think that in the long run, quality will win in the end. Respect is the order of the day, on this site. We all need to treat each other with kindness and promote self worth. I do not not up-vote any old post, that is thrown together.  I must enjoy it and get something from the author. We do not want to send the wrong message out, that it is totally o.k. to bend the rules, just for up-votes.
But offer respect..always..we all deserve it!

**Ouch!** 
I would say that milking pennies has become the main thing on Steemit. Bot voting and strategic voting seem to be the main thing just now. 

**Quality or quantity?**
As this happens we neglect newbies and by that future growth for all. If we look at income throughout the world. "Small pennies" mean a lot for a majority of the worlds population.

**Lets all eat cake!**
I feel that all the big players are eating to much of the cake right now. It has to stop if we really want Steemit to grow and make an impact.

That's an interesting question. Though, "any" post doesn't deserve everyone's upvote, I believe it sure deserves everyone's respect. I hope Steemit will not only be for those who creates what others believe to be a quality post, rather it stays to be a community that welcomes diversity, embraces flaws and promotes the freedom to express oneself in any form. I love how most people are nice and friendly towards each other here in Steemit, and I guess that makes it so much better than other platforms.

Content of all kinds is important, at least to get a good, solid base. Much of that content can evolve to become quality with time and practice, so for me I would have to say yes it's a requirement. Definitely don't want to limit what could potentially be great content just because it's in its early stages rather than in its prime!

Thank you for this question!

Participation and inclusion is vital. While quality is important a discussion of its definition can go on and on. let the reader/viewer decide whether or not they appreciate the post.  I''ve judged children's  K-3 art work to select the best, although all entrants were on display, and quality is not as easy to determine as some suggest.

Hey thanks for participating :)

I think yes everyone deserves respect for sure.

And as for quality I think at this time we need to focus more on making this platform fun and social then worrying about quality. Quality is important but making this a great community brings more value than a well-written article. We got caught up in this quality argument for too long.

WINNER
Thanks for the question. We need to make steem easier for new users and I do have an idea for a better split of rewards I want to post about.

Well I am from Belgium and in real life I am an information Analyst.
And you?

Great comment to get to know people :) And respect for your profession.

I succeed (not easy) by surrender and accepting what  I feel...
feelings are treasures and gold of the new age! ;)
I'm sure you can embrace them!
Even the dark ones!
it is all human.... the curse not being animal... just because they live for free on this planet and we're smart enough to pay rent and food (not my case tho...) ;)

Absolutely!!! Can't barely eat any other pizza!
