My dad introduced me to steemit; I had no idea what it was or even tha tit was attached to a crypto currency. I really knew nothing about crypto at all!
I have enjoyed the contacts/friends I've made in my time on steemit (I joined with my original account @allstarrunner almost a year ago); but I actually have split feelings about the steemit platform - obviously I like the money aspect of it but I also don't like how the money aspect affects things; for instance, you sometimes question if someone is commenting because they actually like your post or if they are just hoping to get your upvote in return; It can be frustrating with all the bots around and voting on stuff (specifically crap posts getting lots of $ when supposedly "quality" is supposed to rise to the top) and see a post you spent a lot of time on only get 3 views after a week lol.
Anyway....I do like steemit and I think it has a bright future and i'm looking forward to making new friends through steemit!
Thank you for joining, now can you upvote me?
Joking :P I know what you mean. But I think those kinds of comments will always be there on a platform like Steemit.
