Good day steem-database family, I have been seeing the activities of the communities and since I'm not on too many communities, I decided to expand my horizons so this is my first post on the community. I know we are all excited for today's post as this is my first time reviewing Steemit from the experience of my friends and I. I am making this review for those who want to refer people to the platform but don't know enough to swindle people to join.

STEEMIT AND WHAT IT'S ABOUT

Steemit is a Decentralized social media platform which rewards it's content creators in steem, steem power, TRX and steem backed dollars (temporarily unavailable) for their meaningful and quality content which adds value to the platform. Unlike other social media platforms which are controlled by one central body, Steemit is Decentralized and this means that the content creators make decisions by themselves on what kind of content they want to post on the platform. The people who upvote your post on Steemit are called curators and the writer/ content creator who owns the post is called the author.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE AS A STEEMIT USER

° Always make sure to follow the community rules and guidelines, ask questions and be very observant inorder to succeed on the platform and learn with everyone.

° Avoid plagiarism by all means as the system tries to promote creativity and innovative ideas from the authors. Always make sure to use copyright free images to avoid plagiarism and properly source and cite all images or texts used.

° Spun content and farming accounts are greatly frowned upon as it's been greedy and stealing from the platform at the same time so avoid it in any form.

° Make good posts, format them properly with the appropriate markdowns, make it lengthy (atleast 300 words) and try to engage on the post of your fellow authors.

° Treat everyone with respect and utmost decorum, correct any mistake you come across on a fellow authors page. Promote the platform to your friends as it boosts users and community activity.

MY RECOMMENDATIONS

This dApp has been existent since 2016 and has since evolved since then. It is available in all devices as far as they can utilize an internet browser or search engine. It is immutable and immune to censorship, it is decentralized and helps keep one busy and earn a living. I would recommend this platform for use to anyone as it is a life changing one. The account creation requirements are very little and account creation is free in comparison to other decentralized social media platforms.
