What I like about steemit: A Fun Blogging Platform VS Crypto making machine?
Most steemit members see the platform as a place to make money because that is what they were told or see especially when they concentrate on trending and hot pages. On the other hand, however, apart from making more crypto´s (steem and steem dollars) , steemit has many other unique values that it offers to its members-here are some points:
Networking: I joined steemit for the money , however stayed for the community , people and knowledge. In fact, steemit is a great platform to meeting new people and thus make new friends, organize events and party´s . @papa-pepper , for example , do organize many get together events with fellow steemians . Moreover, an amazing get together by @karensuestudios and @teamsteem In Canada and USA shows how steemit is bringing interesting people together .
Moreover, there are a lot of innovative minds in steemit platform , collaborating and planning for the next big thing especially on joining a great undervalued token-example is www.elyte.tech .
Knowledge: It is argued that knowledge is power –this is true because with great knowledge comes success and power and we acquire knowledge through learning and experience-which is what steemit provides. In fact, new members should take out time to learn how things are done here, make friend / contacts and thus get more experience before they engage in full time blogging. Moreover, you can learn here about cooking, travelling, cryptocurrencies , blogging, nature , wild life etc.
Conclusion : Apart from crypto´s , steemit is a fun blogging platform, a knowledge hub, great for networking/ learning new things . In fact, steemit is more than just one thing - as indicated in this blog post. Therefore, there is no need for anyone to complain about the monetary part (money will surely come if you concentrate on other great part of steemit) rather we all should see the bigger picture and act accordingly.

Steemit is indeed more than money and I prefer the knowledge, education and networking side of this great platform which is changing lives -positively daily..therefore do not put your eyes on only money rather other top values of steemit and money will surely come with time
You analysed it well...thanks for your comment
Steemit is fun, personally I see it as a blogging platform where I air my thoughts and try out different topics but it's not possible to ignore the financial aspect. As good as your article might be, you don't feel good of it doesn't receive the attention it deserves
good point, I agree
This feels like the future of social media. Glad i got here when i did. Im having a lot if fun here and meeting some amazing people. Resteemed
Very good point and thanks for the resteem
I came to steemit because it exposes you to refreshing ideas, interesting people,participation in several vibrant friendly communities all the while rewarding you for the valuable time spent engaging in the platform unlike other social media sites.
Point.....I agree ...you even make it here more than other social sites
Could not agree more. I also came for the money but now I do see it mere as a nice side effect.
I like to read opinions about various topics and like to discuss these with the steem community.
People just do use the interaction possibilities we have here enough!
We have just started with creating a sports betting community. Maybe not your cup of tea, but I just want to show that it brings people together.
The biggest difference with facebook, is that in facebook I do know my FB friends in real life. Here on the Steem blockchain I do get connected with people from all over the world. All of my Steem friends I have never met before in real life!
It is just great!
Like you wrote let's focus on the good things, in stead of keep on repeating that the system is broken. The system is not broken, we break it by not interacting enough with each other.
The average post/comment ratio according to the stats from @arcange is a miserable 2.6. If we compare this with facebook, twitter or other social media it is a shame!
Just my 2 cents!
Good point , you analysed it well.
Everything, here on steemit is an opportunity👍. Sharing thoughts and emotions about something then get paid for it? How great is that!!💸💸💸 Its like you're an athlete and you are beng paid for something you want to play. This platform is a dream come true.
Thank you for sharing @charles1
Good point, you analysed it well....you also get more than money...knowledge is power
It is happening, because whenever Steemians introduce Steemit, they tell that it is a way to make money online. So you get many people here, who sign up with big dreams and leave the platform after some weeks.
I also joined Steemit as a platform to earn money, but didnt gave up. I like it and loved the people here. It became a part of my daily routine and left other social media websites for it :)
Very good point indeed...patience helps too
Maybe those two factors intertwine and even reinforce each others. It's established, that social media can be seductive, as well as playing with money (aka gambling) is. Those two combined make a strong pair!
Point
As I said at some other time, you know that I live from what I generate on the platform, as the payments in (my case) are low I have to make an effort to publish more, however not everything I do for the money, before working in Golos I earned money just as in this platform, however I no longer advertised on that platform, the most important thing that money, is to feel comfortable, what I like most are the relationships with people, it is nice and warm.
Excellent post dear friend @ charles1, many sgracias for sharing all those tips
I wish you a great day
Welcome my dear one....what happened with Golos? I am sure that things will improve on steemit for all of us...more success
Well the trending pages are really a place a new bie must not go to, instead focusing on being original, creative and engaging
Good point, thanks for your comment
