I agree with some of what you wrote, but I have disagreed from the beginning that anyone will come to a site for quality content.

Name a site that you go to, because they have the best content on the web. . .

I think it is this message (quality content) and our lack of functionality that most users on the Internet expect that inhibits our growth.

We don't have communities so you have to sift through everything to find what you want. That is the problem, not that some people spam.

If I want to operate a charity there are plenty of worthy causes. I am not sure why I would choose to select the steemit community to drop charity. Not saying I wouldn't do it here, I just don't see the "cause".

Anyway, I always enjoy your position on things even when we disagree. Keep making me think.
