I absolutely see it as a platform that gives content creators an audience, money, and a place to practice your craft, get feedback both in comments and rewards. I love that part of it.
I just don't think it pays the bills long-term on any model I can imagine.
I am hoping people will see that we need a mixture of content, business and a way to hold an audience as well! :)
I love SteemIt also.
Thx for your speedy reply. You nailed it on the head with each of your points too. I just needed some feedback from someone like you, who's been on Steemit for a while, as I've switch over to blogging exclusively here. Blessings on your content creation & relationship-building within the platform. 😊
Although most dont make alot on there blogs it is more than they would make anywhere else (unless they are a proffesional blogger, which most of us arent). I see it as a fun place to meet new people write about stuff I enjoy and earn a bit of extra pocket money :)
That's a good key to put into the mix -- about community, etc. 'Blog commenting' isn't what it used to be, even 5 years ago. Even on popular blogs, the commenting has gone way down. But for Steem... there sure is a fresh interaction that's very cool in deed.
Yeah the community here is quite unique in that respect! Lots of great interactions going on here
