Hey guys! Recent user here (I made my intro last week) and I have to say I'm getting disenchanted and weary of Steemit real fast.
Here's the deal: right now, Steemit is awful. It might be better than last month, but it's annoying to use, and there's almost no quality content. It wouldn't be that bad by itself, but most (8 out of the top 10 as I'm writing this) top posts are people raving about how Steemit is the return of Jesus Christ on Earth. The 2 other top posts are random awful stories about special snowflakes who discovered backpacking is fun. The disconnect between what it does at the moment and what people say it does makes me feel like I'm involved in a cult (or a pyramid scheme), and a few of my friends I've introduced to Steemit feel the same. I'm afraid to introduce other people to it now, because I'm afraid they'll think less of me.
Unless people start downvoting more aggressively, or upvote quality posts, Steemit will circle-jerk itself until it catches fire from the friction. And if it's not a pyramid scheme, people better step up their game, because it sure feels like it is.
The emperor is naked fellas!
