That is good news. New people, facebookers, and redditors don't want to see that fanboy stuff every day. After the first week it gets really old.
The incentive to post steemit guides and introductions need to be removed too. Guides should come from official sources, and introductions should be in a users bio.

Hopefully there will be some official action to fix this too.
