@snakiest - thanks for your comment. We dont want to dethrone anybody :) I strongly believe that their are a lot of people here, that want make steemit becomes a cool facebook of the future, where user contibuting quality are fair rewarded. I guess most people dont need a thousand dollar for one articel, but if you can make more than 2 Cent per work it will be more than may job offers in the blogging sphere...

Oh, I agree. It would be nice to see some diversity. It just seems like Steemit is not really about reading as much as it is about up voting those whose posts are guaranteed to produce a good return. Changing that would need a change to the way payouts and financial influence are generated and calculated, in my opinion.
