"I believe this is one the most powerful things about being here. I've used other social media sites and to be honest I never felt the same cohesion and community that I feel here. It's just different. Here is where I feel like I can have great conversations and empowering engagement. This year, I believe, Steemit/Steem will blow the doors off of our expectations. Especially once SMT's (Smart Media Tokens) are at play."
I couldn't agree more.
In my opinion, what makes steemit better than all social media platforms is the community we have here.
I have two Facebook accounts and have five thousand friends/followers on both accounts. Most of whom I don't know, have never met and probably don't like me I real life. But, my posts get thousand likes and comments of praise from people that I personally know hate my guts in real life. So what's the point. Some are just there to show off and lead fake lives.
Steemit is all I could never need in a social network and more. I've made real life friends in my two months here, get good advice when I need it and scolding too when necessary. Couldn't ask for anything better.
Not to mention the educative and informative content you find here for free. Now, I mostly spend my time reading posts and keeping myself updated here on Steemit or chatting and exchanging ideas on discord.
I can relate with your story @adedoyinwealth. I have only spent some few days here and I already have a feeling of belonging to a community that is greater than what I've ever felt. This is what I called the power of Steemit.
@adedoyinwealth See I feel the same way. Whenever I post on facebook I don't feel the connection with other people. It just feels superficial. Glad you found Steemit and are experiencing better connections too.
@stojay007 BIG welcome. Great observation.
Thank You.
