Steemit has helped by listener base grow and provide a small stream of income to keep me motivated.
I love that particularly, I have the same thinking, as someone who sometimes sees very little benefit to things like Twitter, Instagram or Facebook for truly engaging with the audience I am trying to build (and I am not going to fault those platforms, even if the reason is me, some things you click with and some you don't), I am seeing a lot of potential in steemit because it just "makes sense" to me and I can see in my head the way I'd wanna grow. But more than anything everything is about "links", to quote steemit white paper, and those connections between your different social presences is what creates those connections and for that I see a lot of potential in steemit already. Thanks for your take on it and incidentally giving me encouragement!
You're welcome. I use the other social media outlets myself, but the discussion here is the best. My podcast is about war and geopolitics, and the knowledge base here is pretty incredible.
