I think Steemit shouldn't have to fit into a box or adhere to any code.. why can't it be both? and more.. there is opportunity for all to make money doing whatever it is they love and are interested in and the also turn around and support people who are making awesome stuff you like? Whether it's a blog, vlog, educational article, photos, artwork, sculptures - I've seen coffee mugs and all types of stuff for sale on here.
If we just focus on making quality connections, sharing what you love and supporting the stuff you like it works out. Once people start trying to put up boundaries and exclusions that's when people get turned off.
Don't get me wrong I love to write.. I write a ton of posts and I actually read a lot of posts too but if "the man" starts telling me Steemit is a "bloggers only" site.. that's when I have an issue.. it's a free and open platform for all types of interactions and it shouldn't be sculpted and limited

wow... always the great insight @amariespeaks! Yes I don't think "the man" should tell us anything. I'm sick of "the man" too... I think its time we become each become "the man" over just our own lives and lets keep away from any government like institutions... (with rules and restrictions meant to keep their power over us)
That's why I love this place... If we get enough power together, I think we will be the types that will not abuse it like happens everywhere else!
ps.. I like the pic too... very cool... I like homer :P

lol thank you! and yes that is exactly why I love this place too! It's a paradise compared to the real world lol ;-)
I saw this one on giphy and couldn't help myself LOL
Hi @amariespeaks. We forget the marketplace aspect people are turning steemit into which you've mentioned as well...coffee mugs, logo designs..heck, I even saw an advertisement making steemit into a place where you can offer your companionship to others (chat daily with them, say nice words) for a certain number of SBD. I thought it was funny!
Exactly. We already live within the confines of rules in the real world. If steemit is supposed to be a past-time where you can have fun, marking boundaries will only make me feel it's another workplace. No need to add anymore of that into my life.
Always love your rants! I do so too as you know already. ;)
See how behind I am nowadays? 6 days to get back to people, my worse ever!
lol no worries! yeah Steemit could work as many different types of services - I would like to see more payout for good work but maybe that will start to happen over time. I hope ! :)
