With 12 standard full powered votes a day, I find it difficult to assume that the designers of the platforms intended it to be strictly long form content. There is no way anyone can publish at that rate and have it be full form and of high quality at the same time. Not even news papers or production studios with full staff on deck can output at that rate. Nor can anyone be reasonably expected to fully digest 12 pieces of full long format content. Even @ned often posts twitter or Insta style every now and then.

Well, Steem is different to steemit. Steem allows a high number of votes which is why entrepreneurs should get together and create something that can capitalize on this, but and in terms of steemit mechanisms, when you post on steemit, you go to a new editing page with Markdown functionality and a big square box to write in... this is not what you'd expect from a site that wants you to write off-the-cuff commentary on the go. And the site is described as a blogging website, both on wikipedia and steem.io.
A tweet is not a blog, a blog is typically long-form, no?
Anyway, this is a minor issue. there are existing apps out there for what we talk about, but they lack any support and fade into obscurity, unfortunately. Not sure why.
Other sites allow similar functionality, the UI and front end designs are different.
The site is still in beta, and will evolve through user feedback and iterations. It’s fairly new technology compared to what we’re used to.
