Frankly, GrandMaster @smooth, I never understood the bullshit Facebook analogies - STEEMIT should not be so maligned by this comparison.   The very obvious difference is that the success or failure of an individual Facebooker is not left-to-the-whims of a tiny percent of Facebook shareholders - they do not have absolute control of what is "trending"  in that universe, forever - which is what will happen here if we do not have the necessary design change.  The worst effect is having our "superstars" selected for us, our spokespeople, their pockets made full o cashed out STEEMDollars, gifted to them by a tiny fraction of the users here .. <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@proglobyte/the-scamarchists-have-taken-over-usd100-000-of-your-steem-gone-in-a-week-a-response-to-berwick-vs-vays">because very bad choices are being made in this regard</a>.

Demographics will continue to evolve. Anarchists are far from a majority, but will have a strong presence in this ecosystem because of their communities early adoption and the incentives of Steem align with the ideology. This is a good thing.

Find a niche and get some thought leaders from that niche into the platform.
