"The best part is that here I can express my opinions freely without worrying that someone will delete or edit my posts." - This is one reason why I like steemit. In platforms like youtube, facebook or twitter you can create content for years and there is always a risk, that your account can get a ban or get deleted.
On steemit you have a freedom of speech and the work you are doing here for years, cannot be deleted in a second, because of the blockchain technology.

So guys tell the platform to your friends as I do! Let steemit be #1 in the future
