RE: "Came for the rewards and stayed for the community." Now we can prove that we mean it!
Yep, yep. I came here because I saw a social blogging site with a sense of community... and whereas it was amazing to get some rewards, I'm still here posting content, as I was before the reset. Steemit is about the interaction... which happens at a far more authentic level than all the smileys and "me too's" you get on Facebook or elsewhere.
And guess what? When I just upvoted this two day old post, the total actually clicked up a couple of cents, so rewards are returning. Makes me wonder whether all those people who are "withholding content" realize that they are still going to get zero for at least a week, when they start back up.
Well value is not only defined by monetary outcome here. If you study the trending page´s algo, you can perfectly see how much value comments actually have. The interaction is key. That´s why I couldn´t agree more on your "smiley and me too theory" :) I just can´t stand that anymore. On FB I made the experience that most likes are given for pictures that spread happiness. If you publish some really interesting, profound, inspiring, thought-provoking stuff nobody cares! :D On steemit it´s the complete opposite. That´s actually what I like most about this place.
Thanks for stopping by, it´s much fun keeping the content (thus the conversations related to a certain piece) active during some more days :)
