It would be nice if Steem went back to it's foundations and was honoring content based on it's value. Simple blogging is what brought me here but now I agree it is getting too complex. Content doesn't really matter and the use of bots has ruined the experience. It is like a library where the most successful books are the ones about the library. But I do see light at the end of the tunnel with the different niche communities starting. Value put on specific content in each and hopefully policing to stop abuse.
These different communities can be a gateway drug to Steem.
