Thank you, interesting stuff.

Steemit (to me) is an interface for a banking system at the end of the day. I have cynically not paid a penny to it and I am perfectly crap at getting upvotes. But I think comparing it to FB and the limits and scope of algorithms and edited opinion is looking too much to a social media agenda that simply cannot apply to the ruthless world of banking and its many creative back alley cohorts.

One anaemic long blank blog page is on offer without the other immediate functions to exponentially grow contacts and raise awareness ~ its limited in its reach from the off.

If collective groups innovate with worthy content, as you say, then perhaps pushing this cohesion would help great posts get spotted ~ moving away from individual accounts? Besides, it's all a branding exercise anyway if formerly based on brain power to attract votes, as reality can be dull and not everyone on Steemit writes on popular subjects with the panache of a over-zealous PR exec. AND some people without brains get a sh*t load of upvotes. :)

Maybe put the heart to the brain and enable cooperatives to take it by storm - being a single blank blog page doesn't really give you much scope to begin with. Something needs tweaking and stitching together so that Steemit fam can see each other. Safety in numbers.
