It should be fun and social, which is addictive, sticky, and viral.

For the masses it should be mostly swiping and clicking. For content producers, they must be able to connect directly to their demographics and not be at the whim of some top-down control (whales, site-wide ideology).
Well-said. Could not agree more. Sticky? More of off-putting.
The content producers are mainly new untested bloggers who chase for upvotes from whales. These bloggers observe a trend on what kind of content is trending and starting writing something with "their in-depth research and hours writing" compared to people specialized in their technical field for years.
This is a very good example on IP. Just BS.

IP exists clearly for a reason. Just depends on which side you happen to stand. Also this author clearly omits science patents. clearly written for anarchy or the pirates
Such untested bloggers or what you call content producers who exist on steemit is why steemit will fail to attract and expand user base outside of crypto.
I clicked that link for one reason - to see whether or not the author would somehow shill out steemit by making it relevant to the main subject matter at hand. Was almost surprised to not see one mention of steemit....ungil The third to last paragraph.
I believe this is why steemit will die - you can only create so many random blog posts with '...And this is why steemit rules!' before the entire platform is viewed as garbage.
