which one ?
I'm not sure about any of them!
it's all very new to me, but the quality of what I've seen here so far is generally high over a wide range of subjects, and while there is some real garbage here too, it looks out of place in the middle of quality posts.

Thx for the reply.

The one where I quoted you. Did you click the link I provided?

I'd like to hear your comparison to Medium if you feel up for it.

I've never used Medium - I do have a WordPress blog that gets a lot of traffic mainly because I posted some fake porn pages, but it doesn't make any money - http://www.frot.co.nz/design/blog/ - now I plan to post both here on on my existing blog.

Thx for confirming. So if you gush about Steem with its 6400 active users (bloggers and readers/commenters), why would not also consider Medium with its 25 million readers and 20,000 active weekly bloggers?

As a blogger, isn't your goal to reach the most readers. Or do you want to write for a microscopic circle-jerk just because you can earn wow $10 per day.

I agree that we (Western nerds) want to support a platform that stores content on a blockchain which no one can control, but did you know that a few guys control the Steem blockchain? Details matter. And the masses probably don't care about this aspect.

P.S. I wish you good luck and I actually support similars ideals as you want. But I want to be clever about attaining them.

Now I've had a look at Medium, I have a totally negative opinion of it and won't be going back....
Self righteous PC numpties having a martyr self support meeting.
I think Steemit has a potential to change the internet and thereby change the world, because of the way it is set up. Steemit has only been online since March. And if I can earn some money doing it that would be great too.

Interesting. Thanks again for the feedback.

I've read a few important technical blogs on Medium over the past year. So I don't see it as only a politically correct haven.

But what is most revealing to me about your reply, is that exactly as I expected, the Steemians are trying to force their world view onto the world. Sorry that won't scale.

I believe that if we want to change the world, we have to engage with the world. Snobbery and a circlejerk groupthink won't get us there.

Unless you are really good at exploiting the Steememes, $10 per day for an exhausting amount of daily blogging won't change your life (nor the world's).
