I like Steemit because it is a valuable source of inspiration, motivation, and information. There is always something new ro learn, and you don't get spammed with the same thing over and over again. It is community driven in that you connect with others and form micro-comnunities who support each other. You build new friendships with total strangers all over the world, and can even make a few $ in the process. I'm not rich from Steemit, but I'm glad to have found it now rather then a year or two from now.
