I 100% agree!I think part of the issue is the cost for posting even small/short comments on Steem makes it unattractive for long conversations to be carried on for those that aren’t whales or dolphins with large RC pools to draw from. I’ve wondered before it a Twitter style system could be created on the Steem blockchain. A network where you are character limited, like Twitter or Gab, where conversations are short, sweet, and straight to the point. The issue is that the RC cost to make even a small post like that would be very prohibitive for even someone like me. At full charge with my 21SP, I could maybe post 10 “Sweets” in one day, and fewer if I plan on commenting on other’s posts, then I’d have to wait at least another day for my RC to recharge to post or comment again.

I wish that RC cost was based on the size of the post you make, as that way a functional chat service could really become possible on the Steem blockchain. Now granted, I understand it’d have to be made in a way that prevents post/reward farming, I get that. But it would also really open the Steem blockchain to be used for more for messaging and “Sweeting” than is currently possible. It might also break that stigma many have about feeling that anything posted on the Steem blockchain needs to be “special” or “important” to justify posting.
