I have all the best words for the Steemit as far it concerns the earnings and community, personally, but I don't know how much it makes to others or how confident they are to openly participate.
I make a real commenting sprees at the times, and I saw a lot of great writers who just lack either somebody to push them or to kick them to involve more and to include themselves a little bit, and they will be fine.
The real life situation can be a completely different pair of the sleeves, so many people come here in constrains.
