I think it is easy for people to become Trolls on social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and even on Facebook because there is "nothing in it for them" on those platforms - other than the satisfaction of harassing people and getting a rise out of their online victims.

I myself have been a victim of cyber bullying on those social platforms and there was really nothing to be done about the harassment other than to "report" those trolls. Most of the time, reporting trolls didn't do a darn thing.

So, I am grateful for a platform like this. Steemit keeps my identity "secret" to a degree. In that case there should be no trolling from my previous abusers.

Also, since there is financial incentive for everyone to use this platform, I think people will be more inclined to treat others on here as they would like to be treated. They will have the good sense to "play nice" here.
