Nice post. I agree, the quality of content on Steemit is incredible. Silly little memes go viral on Facebook, but they don't really count for much here. The other angle is that, Steemit solves the "clickbait problem", where content producers just create a title and image which is enough to get you to click, make their money from ads, and then who really cares if there is any substance to the post. Here, people have to make content which is truly engaging, so Steemit has killed quite a few birds with one stone.

Welcome to Steemit and have a great day!
