Thank you for your input, actually I have never been a social media guy myself, although I have been a software engineer since the early nineties and my work have been focused on internet technologies, but neither Facebook or Twitter caught my attention, I never got hooked to any of those, but something about Steemit is really different, it’s decentralized and fairly anonymous, and actually paying good money for good content. I’m sure something big just started here. I would never have imagined I would get hooked to a social media platform like Steemit, but I did.
I think I’m going to need your wonderful secret writer service soon to write my story: “confessions of a steemoholic” :D
Thanks again!
I guess I am in a unique category because I taught myself how to build websites back in the early days. I did some programming also and have been obsessed with digital media from the early times. I always viewed the early social media sites, Friendster and Myspace as a way to share my art and create colloaborative projects. I was always pushing the envelope in some way, trying to add some functionality to the platforms. If anything, I'm a collaborator, have been since early times but I'm a loner as well, and I much prefer to be at a computer than out at a party. Creative ideas when combined with technology has been my mainstay and I pretty much taught myself everything as far as computer graphics/editing/video goes. Steemit, for me is a great culmination of all the work i've been doing both in computer art to collaborating with others. It's a dream actually....
For me it’s a culmination of blockchain and social media, it’s a powerful match for sure.
Enjoyed reading your words, as always :)
