I too have been on here for about a week now. My original goal was to see if it was really a good product that would support the Steem crypto. I believe it is and I have purchased some of the currency with my bitcoin. There is a solid future here with this ever expanding media. The new DTube is gaining traction and I am sure there are other plans here on Steemit. I have found it to be a very educational resourse. On the other hand I have not seen the reward like I thought that I would. I am still curious as to how some of these posts are getting so much money. My curiosity will keep me here for a little while longer and I have committed some money to the steem power so I am locked in for at least a year on my investment. Good luck. I hope you can stay around a little bit longer.
I think that I don't fully understand what Steemit really is. I'm looking for friends, comments and criticisms, and commeraderie with writers. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing? I'm not judging my success by rewards but by response. Yours is probably the biggest one I've "earned" so far. Lol. But I'll hang in there for awhile. Thanks for your thoughts!
