I agree.

And I'd like to point out the "How's the product evolving?".
That is very important. Cause I can make a good POC/Alpha product, but if it stays there then it doesn't matter how great the idea is.

And that,unfortunately is my issue with Steemit. And I know this will be controversial but, Steemit did not really evolve much in last year when I started using it. I even took a big break and when I got back there was almost no change. And that's one thing that keeps me skeptical about the project and the governance.

Maybe it's improving now, and maybe it's a hype by some well meaning users who wish for it to be true.

So I'm skeptical, or at least questioning. And I think that's good and healthy for any project.

Now, that does not mean I don't support it and don't want it to get better. (I even just had an idea of how I could help with that, a project of sorts) but there's always reality we should look at.
