Hi everyone! Just after posting my previous post about people who everyone should follow on Steemit I noticed that my followers have gone up substantially! I'm now above 5,000!
I couldn't thank you all enough! This has been a life changing journey for me. Being in the independent media field for years and slowly watching my channel get further demonetized and censored as well as Facebook blocking me from sharing my videos (and when they allow me, not letting anyone see my posts), Steemit was one of the biggest discoveries I've ever made.
Alongside Steemit, DTube finally gave me an alternative to YouTube and seeing as uploading a video gets queued to 220th place shows that there's a great diversity of people coming to the platform and posting! This is HUGE!
Having the chance to know many of the top Steemians in person as well as having recently interviewed @Dan, the co-creator as well has given me all the more faith in this incredible platform! It means I don't have to worry about my media crashing and burning. It means I can continue to bring this information to people world wide. It means I can join a community of people who care about their public individual demand as they would in real life. There's no incentive to be a troll on Steemit considering the reputation system. People talk to each other as they would if they were face to face unlike other social media platforms.
Congrats!! Here's to your next 5000!!👊💰
You did an amazing job and you deserve even more. Am shooting for my first 100 followers and hoping to share similar story as yours in the nearest future..First I'll make sure I follow all those you listed.
Thanks I am a newbie, less than 24hrs old and I would love you to be my mentor @joshsigurdon that's if you don't mind.
@joshsigurdon I just followed all, thanks for the insight
I've never even been in a Steemit argument. Facebook and reddit are some all arguing all day. YouTube is endless trolling. Steemit is the way I hoped the internet would be
Congratulations! What got censored on the other platforms?

Congratulations! I followed you there, so one more closer to 10k! My initial goal is 1,000 - I will see how I get on from there. The plan is to keep posting great content, and let others know what I think of their posts through the comments section!
Congratulations, what a great accomplishment! Onward to 10k!
I'm happy for your achievement and wish you continued success. Imagine when steemit has 5M people!
That Ukraine war photo is fitting. I hope that bloody war gets resolved peacefully.
