Yes and Yes. Especially the part about it being an option.
Thoughts...
With some curation accounts, it is interesting to see how they grow and share.
But I was describing Steemit to a NAVY buddy and the confidentiality thing was the first thing he noticed and questioned. "Why does everyone have to know your biz?"
But I also find it refreshing to 'try' and be myself here. I have been so many people onstage, and so many people on twitter that it is interesting to actually engage with new people as myself. And it is nice knowing that people here, just might be real people. I have no idea how to understand what a Witness or Coder does, but I get to try and relate to them through this technical medium.
More options now might lead to a simplification later after the people's behavior gravitates to what they appreciate the most.
