When I started on Steemit, I instilled in myself that I am not here for the sole purpose of earning, but to provide value and quality content people will like or have interest in. I try my best to do such, that's what I know. 😀
In this platform, you'll get to know a lot of people from different walks of life and different parts of the world who have something to offer to the community - from food to crypto - and that's what makes Steemit the best place to be.
I guess everyone who starts on Steemit just have to think of it as a social media that "rewards" - that itself is self-explanatory. It's either you get nothing, or you get something. But either way, that should not be a basis to evaluate whether Steemit is worth blogging for or not.
