if I don’t vote friend and family, who else will vote them?

Ideally, if they write a good post, some curation team would vote.

But I get your point, as our friends family aren’t all professional writers/photographers either. Part of steem’s feature looks like another social media but original it is designed to be for good content. I talked about similar point in my vlog today too. Interesting time certainly and I’m also curious to see how steem is heading to.
