RE: Do you think Steemit needs an account verification or KYC feature?

- Yes. Exactly it would be better for platform.
Steem is about community. For a community to thrive, you need people to assume personal responsibility. Anonymous accounts cannot be hold to account for potentially malicious or harmful behaviour
Steem might be about community, but Steem is also about censorship resistance. It’s about being able to post anonymously without any centralized entity controlling what you can or can’t say. KYC is not needed here, and quite frankly not possible (only perhaps for the individual application interfaces themselves) in which case would instantly see a mass exodus if ever implemented. I certainly would use a different service (and I am far from anonymous). This is about personal and financial freedom and KYC doesn’t go with the flow of that.

"One's freedom stops where starts the freedom of others".
If one wants to be art of a community, it should (formally or implicitly) accept the rules of the community - refrain from doing what the community considers "off limits".
That would be "self censorship" if you wish, accepted for the sake of the others.
It's not about "KYC" because there's no "seller - customer" relationship here. It's more "KYF" - know your fellow. And it shouldn't be imposed, it should be an entry rule in the community: if you want to belong to the steem community, you need to assume responsibility for your behavior. You need to have something at stake - here, by revealing your real world identity, your put your real world reputation at risk
Some people do not want to put their real world identity (or life?!) at risk when they speak their mind online, and thankfully STEEM allows people to speak their mind without fear of repercussions, whether it be by governments or others that disagree with them. That’s the beauty of it all.
