One of the things I love so much about Steemit vs a .com blogging experience is the community here. On a .com blog you rarely see the same people, and in many cases even if someone does leave a comment you have no way to know what projects they might be working on. They are simply ships passing in the night.
But here on Steemit I get to see the same people every day. I get to see their writing develop and I get to learn about them and their lives or their worldview. Yes it's still work and takes time, but I still see it as so much easier and rewarding vs a .com blog.
I'll definitely be staying for the community.
Ships passing in the night... So true!
