I am fortunate to have a well paying job that allows me live and do the things I like, but my goal is to one day become my own boss and Steemit gives me the practice I want to become a better writer. I also love the interaction and self-help posts here. I am furthering my goals by investing in crypto currencies and I am confident that Steem will be a big winner!

Yeah I run a non-profit and I am a stay at home mom to 3 kids. Neither of these things really pay anything. So my life is very full...just not of money haha. So while I love Steemit, I have to make it work for me financially too, and in a way, that is what is different about this platform, and what people should be expecting. If it were just about fun, you could have fun on Reddit. I would arguably say that some of the posts on there are even better than some on here. The financial incentive is what sets Steemit apart. People make money on here, and then decide whether or not to invest in the platform, which in a way gives each of us even a small voice as "investors". That's what I like about Steemit!
I agree that reddit and tumblr have way better content.... but it’s that pesky little detail that sets us apart from them: monetary incentive! I try to stay off the other social media sites as much as possible (except as a #steemambassador)
