RE: Steemit - The Oxymoron Social Media site

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

I remember them both and yes that maybe true in many cases but this really isn't a new idea, the only new aspect of it is it being block chain supported instead of advertisement based. I have done well here because I use to write for a site that in many ways was like Steemit in the fact you got paid to post and comment when people upliked it. But the money sucked If you got a $1 for a post that was considered good. Site lasted about 2 years then they stopped paying people.

Sort:  

What was the name of the site? Was not aware that there was a concept similar to Steemit that had already been tried.

mylot.com it is still around and I hear they reward people again but it is a joke to earn $5 takes a month

and it wasn't block chained based it was advertisement supported

Thanks for the link - I checked it out and can see the similarities. Liked that they have a new users page and that users can send private messages to each other. Found the adverts irritating especially the pop up ones, community guidelines were too prescriptive - this happens when there are human moderators - and the top post was a guy complaining that his post got deleted. So a No from me for mylot.

Yeah it went to shit and it was never all that because of the low earnings. But there were things I learned there that has really helped me here. I been here for 49 days I have been earning a little more each week and I do credit what I learned there to doing well here. It use to not be so censored.
