I've just recently started dusting off the other social media sites because that's where the bulk of the people are and I'm feeling the need to get as many eyeballs on my content as possible. Steemit will be my primary blogging platform but I hope my jumpstart in those other places will bring more people here.
I can certainly understand that strategy and I'm sure it will work. I just don't want to support those platforms after researching what they do, no matter how much it would help me on Steemit. Good luck with your effort!
