I like Steemit because it allows all people every gender, race and religion from all over the world each with their own various talents a place to showcase them and express themselves. And it is not only interesting but educational. ..everybody doesn't like everything but everybody has loyal followers, fans and supporters. You learn recipes..how to draw..dyi projects..garden..survival skills..play an instrument etc. And unlike other social media platforms such as facebook..you are not bombarded with fake news and extreme drama...most people that I have met are helpful kind and encouraging. I have lived through abuse..have had a long illness and even occasionally fight depression...and my loyal fans and followers are there with me on those days just as they are on my happy upbeat fantastic days :) now I am learning about crypto currency..which I joined this platform completely blind and unaware regarding this issue..I am becoming excited about it and wanting to participate now :) so as a blogger and a reader these are my reasons why I love Steemit!! But the question was regarding Steem itself ..my answer is though I don't make money my sole purpose ..earning it and SBD is a fantastic bonus
One that we all want to see really pay off in the long run..but ..my favorite part is that it's not only a growing investment but it also validates you and helps give you pride that people ..peers valued your work..art or craft !! This is why I love Steem!! :) Vote @good-karma
