I think we’re learning that free models of distributing information aren’t sustainable. They force writer’s hands to “click bait,” “rage porn,” and “fake news.”

So true. The reason I'm so excited about Steemit isn't so much the blockchain or the money as much as it is that it incentivizes content producers to, well, produce quality content.

P.S. Thank you for introducing me to Steemit! You posted a link in a Medium article to Steemit, and I signed up immediately.
