RE: Old steemit post - Why steem ?
One of the advantages of the Steem blockchain after the freedom of speech is content preserving. Everything you post to the Steem blockchain will remain there as long as the Steem blockchain exists. This may mean many decades or even centuries.
The Steem blockchain (and especially Steemit) should be promoted by these values, and not by the money earning opportunity.
I write this, because Steemit is currently marketed with the money earning opportunity. It is no wonder that the majority of the users are focusing on money earning.
If you are not logged in on Steemit, you can see the "Authors get paid when people like you upvote their post.
If you enjoyed what you read here, create your account today and start earning FREE STEEM!" message under every blog post.
I think that this is bad marketing. Especially writing "FREE STEEM". Very bad marketing. I think that this should be replaced.
When you open the wbesite, the first thing that's written there is ''Money talks''. It's a proof of stake. So, it's written in the website that's the more money you have, the more you earn and now for some reason more and more crypto are moving to proof of stake. I don't know why people are so excited about that and forgetting proof of brain and others, but it's what it is !
