An open letter to the whole Steemit community

[drunkonmilk]

Hello all!

It's really REALLY nice to be here with you, sharing this awesome experience.

However the truth is, I'm in some parts a bit disappointed on what Steemit has become for some people.

The largest disappointments are born when people hear about Steemit from someone they know and they claim it's something it's not.

Like Facebook/Youtube/Twitter/etc. but better and you can earn a bunch of money EASY.
_{In a way, Steemit can be seen as better any of these. If you like.}

_{But the difference is, this is not easy platform to earn on.}

_{Instead you need hard work, connections which many people do not even want to make!}

_{How can you make connections with others, if they just want to post and get their easy, free money they came here for? THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE PROMISED!}

_{And then in the end, quite many users get disappointed. High Steem prices help us who started early, but can make Steemit a bit more difficult for new users. The small SP users have higher payout value too though, but difficulty to gain SP causes issues with bandwidth, which increases with SP.}

_{But I'm looking forward for these to pass, as Steemit might never become truly mainstream for everyone. And it's fine.}

_{We are here to stay. Those who have the dedication instead only than the yearning after money.}

_{I'm glad there are people like you and me, who post and read REAL content.}

_{This is why I can trust that Steemit will survive.}

At least hopefully.

Thank you for reading this.

I hope most of you agree what I said

And will avoid the mistakes made.
