I kind of agree with what you are saying. I am new to the crypto space although not so new to bitcoin. I moved from denial mode to believer last year and like you was a maximalist. However, joining steem was a bit late for me. Over the two months i have spent here, i am slowly starting to get a sense of how useful this platform can be. This is a good platform and i have eventually found a way to access quality content by slowly exploring more and more content. It takes time but i am sure more and more people will see the multiple use cases of this platform and be able to access, create and curate good quality content here.
