I agree with your sentiment of looking at the positive angle of steemit content! However we interact here is already way more meaningful than however we do on traditional social media platforms. And what you said about why the traditional platforms aren't held to the same quality standard is interesting. It never really crossed my mind. I guess people assume that if you're actually earning money from it, your content must be high quality to justify it.

Ideally yes. But how many jobs are out there where people get paid an hourly wage, and then attend a meeting or trip with co-workers and just fuck around? It'd be an endless list.

I definitely think people should put their best foot forward when writing articles on here. But as long as people aren't collecting ridiculous rewards for bad shit, let them collect their few cents/bucks here or there!
