Steemit has worked wonders to awaken creativity in many users and in many different ways. I like how newcomers lately have been calling it the "reviving of blogging" because blogs in general have not seen great performances spread all over the web and on different sites where users lost a huge cut to the providers just by making it possible for them to publish them somewhere with the hopes of them getting some visibility. Plus they all had to rely on adrevenue which itself has seen a huge downtrend in effectivity and rewards.
Its exciting times for the attention economy and I'm glad Steem is one of the leading platforms in it right now and how the advantages of blockchain are making it so easy for it all to work out this well.
I completely agree. I now I've seen a lot of friends/people I've known trying to make it blogging on sites and "blog-providers" like those. I wish I could've told them about Steem then :D
It is really exciting and it's just getting more so the whole time :D Thanks for the read :)
Yeah - even those doing it for a long time see almost no traffic, feels like a waste of time really, not to mention that if those sites go down after a few years all your content is lost - that can't happen on a blockchain, though! ;)
