Congrats @charles1 on the milestone ! 👏
I too came for the monetary incentives that were being commended by many others, but like you, have started to enjoy the community instead. I find the content being published here much more rewarding and interesting compared to YouTube or Facebook, which I regularly use. Feels much more personal and also having a sense of extra layer of depth in these content/post.
I'll definitely be sticking around! To many more success your way, and everyone else here of Steemit.
Good point, am sure that you will be a success here.
