RE: Why I Left YouTube and Social Media and a Thank You Letter to my First 250+ Steemit Followers!

Interesting to hear your perspective on switching from other social media platforms... I just joined Steemit about a week ago, and I've only used Facebook (in fact, I just also commented on your Facebook page), but I've never been rewarded for all the valuable content (like forage info) in any other way than likes. I believe Steemit may be a much better outlet where we can put detailed info that is more appreciated! Thanks for your input on the switch; makes me even more excited about Steemit!

Thanks @colorado-girl for your comments both here and on my Facebook page... You should be compensated for your investment of time community building and for your content.... beyond just "likes".

That's one point that really burned me with Google / YouTube "partnership" is that there was no real transparency as to what their "cut" was on the YouTube platform. 50/50 could easily have been 99/1. Here, in the Steemit "gift economy" there is transparency!

People need incentives to produce, and with something (dare I say, money!) that can be applied to their quality of life IRL... I think you'll find yourself feeling at home here on Steemit! ; )
