Why are questions important?
Before any given answer there has to be a question. We, humans, have a great advantage over animals by having consciousness but this consciousness is not the reason why we are so advanced.
You see, humans are really curious creatures and since the begging of time, we had tendencies to explore new worlds. Curiosity is so powerful that people were ready to lose their lives in order to get the answers for their questions.

The problem - Lack of question-like posts
Steemit is the great place for people who are creative and able to create content but his platform become so much content driven that it has no posts that are question-like.
So many times I have asked the question on Forum/Reddit and I got beautiful answers and not just that, even if I do not post on Forums/Reddit, I can find my question in the post and beautiful answers and arguments.
There is a lot of people who are not that good in content creation and could use their knowledge for answering questions or arguments.
The solution - Q&A posts
Problem with Forums/Reddit is that it takes time to get answers and nobody is answering and argumening for money. Since the Steemit is a hype driven platform you would get answers faster and I think answers would be much better because you can get upvoted if you are doing it right.
In my opinion commenting and curating would become more popular since "70%" of comments in content posts are "Great post. I will follow you". By creating a question-like posts, people will need to write something helpful in comments.
Also, people could earn by asking right question which is great.
How it would work?
This update would be really simple, there would be post tab and Q&A tab. So if you want to look for content you would go in post tab and if you want to look for questions you would look in Q&A tab. With this option, we would get separated tabs so there would be no confusion between this two.
In this region you would choose what you want to look for.
Steemit members would have profiles with Post and Q&A tabs so this two would not be in the same post list.
Conclusion
So this is just a random idea that got in my mind and wrote a post about it immidietly. Asking questions is a big part of what makes us humans and I think questions will make this community even better.
Looking forward to see your arguments for this possible update of Steemit.
