Some of the comments are really interesting.

Text of the original post here:
Hi there everybody,
I'm brand new to the platform, just joined yesterday. I can say that I am a believer in the crypto-potential and the idea of rewarding content and good curation with money is awesome.
Unfortunately, it seems to me that for now every other post is about steemit, or about how to make money from steemit, or about concurrency. New posts are coming in very slowly and there really isn't much content except for the aforementioned. Or >at least, not a lot of content that gets bumped to the front page. It feels a bit too much like people creating a closed system.
Also, I've noticed that people have good intentions and they really seem to help out and make this work but I am afraid more work is needed and even more curation.
Is there a way of creating separated channels besides the tags? Can we maybe put all but the most popular posts about steemit somewhere else?
I feel that people might get discouraged coming in and only reading about steemit and money. What of the people who aren't really interested about this? What about ppl wanting to make this site a daily stop because they want to read about it?
Maybe all this will normalize soon, but we need, as a community, to attract and reward good content and to make space for it. Or else, how will it ever grow?
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
