The reason I joined steemit was because it looked to me like a social media platform that pays crypto currency. Once I discovered it does all the same things I have been doing with google photos, facebook, youtube, and more, and it does it better than the big monopolies without censorship, I was sold that this was the best place to share my media content online. Haven't regretted my decision for a moment, and the growth of my earnings has exploded faster than any other crypto I've invested in. Best of all is the wonderful networking I've accomplished though building positive friendships with like-minded individuals. I'll never use linkedin again.
