I'm pretty new here myself and I like the concept of steemit, but just from my initial observations some of the community seems to be a bit in the wrong mindset and are more worried about making STEEM than writing anything worth reading or watching. They go hand and hand of course and a lot of the articles and stories here are very insightful depending on what you like to read.
Unfortunately there are a few members who still don't care about that and just taint the waters for everyone else :/
