I heard about steem while listening to Gregory Mannorino's youtube channel. I had quit social media years prior but liked the idea that I could get paid. I joined in Aug 2017 and you are leaps and bounds ahead of me, so don't beat yourself up too bad, you are doing great. :0) Steem is totally different now especially with @steem-engine, the communities and DApps and all of the new technology taking place on the blockchain. It all is getting me extremely excited despite the current stupidly low steem price... It's gotta correct eventually....... right??
