RE: Some thoughts on Steemit
Well, although I know the platform, I was never a regular Wordpress writer, I think I once wrote a couple of articles for a column belonging to a group of libertarians from Colombia, but I did not have time to write for them, so I did not use the platform much. But the little time I used the platform I liked.
I have also been able to visit other pages where content is published, but with another function different from Steemit. In Argentina, for example, they have a page that allows uploading content to everyone who registers, but some users, who meet certain requirements, are paid in Bitcoin for the articles they write. The great thing is that it was not always like that, the community was created first, and then, over the years, they introduced the reward feature so that some writers could get some money.
But being honest, of the pages I've visited, Steemit is the one that has the greatest growth opportunity, but it's like you say, getting a Steemit account should be somewhat less bureaucratic than it is now, so that more users can join , no one will wait 1 or 2 weeks to receive approval of your account.
