Being on steemit is a bit like being on a tram. Everyone can get in, talking, make friends and so on. As long as the thing goes on, no one really cares. If the vehicle brakes down people look for other means of transportation.
By the way as long as everyone can have a go, bullshit is not avoidable.
Thats a nice metaphor.
Absolutely true, but other sites/communities manage it to bring the BS a bit more down. But here it's all about money sometimes. The more SP someone has, the more upvotes he'll get, no matter what he posts, because everyone is hoping for upvotes back. Thats how the BS goes up often imo.
At the same time the money is what makes steemit special and motivating. Paradoxial.
