That's exactly it! Some reading could make you think there are all kinds of problems here in this early stage (and there are issues) - but the crux is that the feeling/atmosphere here, together with the interface itself, is unique, something that we have not seen or experienced before. To me, even if I have other venues on the 'Net, it already seems like I'll be spending more time here than I thought at the outset. Steemit has the potential - and it is needed!
