I imagine Steemit as a multi-pocket community with like minded people coalescing around topics they have a genuine passion. For those only interested in gaining followers they'll find a long list that fall into suite, "misplaced ambition to has a destination which may not be desired or expected".
To tag a phrase from my post: https://steemit.com/life/@anthony160/intrigued
@playfulfoodie, I really enjoyed your thoughtful well written post.
Thank you so much :-)
