This is exactly my attitude. I spend time on Reddit and Twitter because I enjoy it and I learn from. I never made a single buck from it, neither did I expect to.
So I don't expect to make any money from Steemit. I just post and interact with people like I do in any other social media. The fact that I may earn something out of it is an enormous bonus with no precedence.
So, enjoy Steemit as a social network first. That's the key. :)
that's the flow!
