The truth is that humans are product of TRAITS AND TRAINING. So an individual clearly exhibits that traits they are born with, even though training impacts on traits. but when they both work effectively together, an individual becomes WHO THE HAVE TO BE. 

Like you pointed out 

> I know when I read some people's fiction stories I can pretty much tell how old they are. With my background, I can definitely tell if their mother tongue isn't English as the sentence structure is immature and the use or overuse of some forms is a telltale sign, as is the clunkiness of vocabulary. 

I can't agree less.

i also think that life's struggles make you compasssionate about others. when you have experienced the other side of life. you probably understand better and help others not to experience them

you think alot and i think i enjoy reading your perception about life, BEST REGARDS

Hey wonderful post!

Truly nice to hear - I felt it was very grounding - Certainly something younger yolk need to hear from they're elders.
Constructive insights.

There are a few things I gleaned off this post. Theoretically  a demographic analysis will help in improving the platform but I am not exactly sure if profiling can work on what we have here currently. If it comes down to it we can even profile a person based on how they eat, but for data to give any substantial result we would need volunteers. If we get results from that then the obvious question would then be - do we need a soft upgrade or  we go for Steemit v2.0?
As we stand now I doubt any kind of a targeted upgrade to the system would be taken kindly. I have no proof but I think people here are more likely to stick to anonymity than other platforms.

This is apt and thought provoking. But this got me in an unexpected manner.... 
>How many of the bidbot operators have kids? 

I would really like someone to answer this question and preferably a bidbot owner or user. 
However, I know that there are questions that don't have answers and maybe this is just one of those questions.

>I saw someone advertising proofreading services the other day and in their first paragraph, I counted about 5-6 errors at a glance. Errors aren't a problem.. unless you are offering proofreading services.

This got me laughing, how ridiculous, but then its the truth, people who were of the 60's or less have a moderate and fair behavioral pattern compare to the 90's.
The taking responsibility part is something closely related to background if we say people who have kids behave in a more ethical way, then why are we still having single mom..
Maturity can be inherited or developed it depends on ones determination to be better for him/herself first then reach out to others...
Personally i think i am more better giving wise since i joined steemit, the etiquette i met here was overwhelming i copied that and use it daily.
Now i have one principle, which is
>What i have is not truly mine. 

Not just in talking but also in doing, apart from the monetary gains, i have developed myself a lot on steemit the people are so awesome and the reception responses from people who barely knows me, its just so unbelieveable. I commented on a steemians post just mentioning that i was in a tight position paying my tuition fee and bam she dropped 5sbd in my wallet, that was worth a lot if sold in my country i was speechless, what really got me arrested was that i checked her wallet and that was all she had, i wanted to return it she refused i told her i could manage she still refuse to take back the sbd... Since then i made steemit my home a lot of people have in one wag or the other affected my life on steemit and am greatfull.
Finally being a university fresher doesn't make you less mature or to have a bad behaviour towards the society, i love reading your post @tarazkp its always insightful and thought provoking.. Now i need to evaluate myself more cheers..

You hit some hot points here and i will love tp answer these questions 

*Does the average person without children use the platform differently than those with?* **yes** differently in a more committed and obsessive way.

*Do they view the level of personal gain and community sharing differently?* **no**,same as others, maybe a little more.

*How many of the bidbot operators have kids*? I know Jerry's got a kid, not sure about the number of the others though

*Does someone who has survived cancer have the same view of earning here as someone who is just into their university?* **no** one has higher level of approach with maturity and experience than the other.

*Is the willingness to flag or not affected by history or life position?* **yes actually** 

*Are the early 20s users more likely to be more greedy or selfish than someone in their 40s?* **yes actually** a lot of them dont know anything about commitment or longterm, even people in their 30's fall in this category

I dont have a child, yet, but i can tell you that the way i treat steemit is on a more personal note, im just 4months in but im willing to see this through with all i can, a lot of older people with child mostly have other businesses which means less time for steemit, so they might want to make their while count more than a lot of people without a child who live on steemit.

I see a lot of those with kids to be less anonymous

**all are my opinion**

Hi Taraz. You raise some interesting talking points on this post. Don't honestly know as each generation seems to be very different from the next. The rules seem to change. 
When I first started work everyone told you stick it out and make a career. Start at the bottom and work your way up basically. Get experience and then you can move on to something better. Then it changed it wasn't frowned upon to have worked for 2 or 3 companies over a 2 year period. You were getting experience in different work environments. I still feel the opposite, why train someone who is leaving in six months. I think the youth of today is impatient and will look for shortcuts to the top. They are ambitious and want everything now. They won't work for it either and believe they are entitled to whatever they expect. 
Actually to answer some of your questions from your post the majority of the older generation will be a part of the community like you and I but the younger ones it will be a no. 
Don't proof read this as I write what I think lol.

My regular commenters seem to range from kids in upper secondary school to middle-aged people with families. For the younger ones, life seems to be full of possibilities. There is a great deal of optimism and energy as well as uncertainty. A general unawareness of limitations is observable. While it is true that as one ages one's potential is diminished, that is not what I mean. With experience, one's understanding of the future potential of things gains structure and form.

Some just try too hard and are too literal and it shines through. But, I have spent the last 15 years reading text from foreigners so, it really isn't overly difficult for me.

I had a very interesting experience reading the posts of someone both you and I know here. This guy lives in Finland and is a most likely a native of this country. But I never realized it because I had not paid *any* attention to his profile and because his English seemed to flow flawlessly and naturally like that of a native speaker. After a while, I picked up some things in his language that indicated otherwise. He also posted pictures of his neighbourhood a couple of months ago at which time I looked at his profile and saw that he was in Finland. The weather at the time seemed to indicate that he probably lived on the south coast of Finland. Then I realized that despite the small imperfections in his English, the lack of negative transference from Finnish was why it took me so long to realize he was a (probably) native of Finland and that this was most likely because his native tongue was probably <i>Swedish</i> and not Finnish. Much later, I heard him speak English in a DLive broadcast. Definitely not a native speaker of English. His accent sounded like one of someone whose first language was Swedish (the dialect spoken in Finland). Finally, some weeks later, he replied in Swedish to a long comment written in Swedish. While that is not definite proof of anything, the Bayesian likelihood of his native tongue being Swedish increased greatly.

Maybe not everyone but it sure does me!

There are many different users on this platform, different ages,styles and backgrounds. I personally feel that in order to share something valuble you require life experience and a couple of good slaps to the face. As far as kids go, I don't have kids yet and I really hope this year we will start working on that and about the anonymity - all the people I follow and have children share it very often, I think anonymity is more of young thing.
