I can only agree with you in everything you have written so far. I would be happy if Steemit reaches a greater scope. For me it's just great to see people being rewarded for their hobbies (sometimes a lot of work).
I am on Steemit since January and from my point of view, the content has improved considerably.
Facebook does not offers additional value for me. I turned my back on the network 3 years ago.
I think it is interesting when new users (like you) report on their experiences and opinions on the network after a few months. Maybe you feel like it!
