Now that's a great post! Perhaps because Steemit means a million different things to a million different people, its never going to make everyone happy, but at least if we can all use some empathy to understand others perspectives, we at least have a fighting chance to continue to propser.
I hadnt actually noticed a decline in post quality, but notice a decline in the number of posts, but on the flipside of this, see a drop in the amount of crap being posted.
As for politics, I see far too much both of the actual realworld type and the internal niggly type. Unavoidab!e I guess but I would love to see the platform understand its global reach and be a more borderless society.
Throw in some secularity and i'll be a happy bunny.....until I find something else to moan about.
Really enjoying following you fella and I send my warmest regards and best wishes to your continued success.
