Steemit vs Reddit

What are Steemit advantages versus Reddit?
They are very similar in terms of usage, on Steemit there are incentive to post and it's decentralized.
Why did you pick Steemit over Reddit?

Sort:  

The core, fundamental advantages are:

  1. Sock puppet voting has no value on steemit, but is a huge factor on reddit
  2. Censorship resistance, which mostly applies to the underlying block chain and not the web site (so it won't have much practical end-user value until there are different ways to access the blockchain)
  3. Ownership and participation-based pay for community members. Reddit recognized the value of this, and even tried to implement it, but found too many legal problems with simply issuing a cryptocurrency and abandoned the idea.

The rest will depend on how the community develops.

First two are major for me.
Censorship is big problem at Reddit

1 - Too much censorship on Reddit

2 - Some Reddit communities are very "cliquey"

3 - I love the idea of being able to reward people who help me

4 - I love the idea of being rewarded when I'm helpful to others
