Like many others I'm still new here and I can't share that many experiences, but I can tell you how I feel and what I think.
That is: I really think this platform is very unique and has build a great concept around blogging and posting.
Though I heard some complaints about that it's all about who you know, but I think everyone has the same chance to deliver valuable content and insights and if you earn money with it...well, it's a nice side effect.
I think this could get really big in terms of fairness, high-quality content, respectful behavior and helping others grow.
