Great post. It resonated with me very much as a software developer. I get what you mean when you say solving problems just for the sake of it vs there’s a market for it.

You’re approaching the steemit problem from the side of content creators. There are two more stakeholders in this platform, investors and content consumers.

Investors need to discover great posts like this one and great content providers that contribute to the platform. It’s in their interest to find those accounts and posts and to upvote them. That’s how the value of this platform and therefore their investment increases.

Content consumers also need to discover great posts and accounts just to consume them.

So, both parties need a tool to discover great content relevant to their tastes.

Developing a tool for content creators might not be profitable, because most of them are in need of money and might not have the cash to invest in an extra tool.
