Very well written post @koromandia! I have no real experience of social media before joining steemit so I can't really give an informed comment on the subject but I myself see positives and negatives in the platform though I must be honest and say I find it pretty easy to use as someone new to blogging and a little technologically back to front.
I'd be keen to see what others have to say though so I will happily resteem this for you.
I look forward to seeing what else you have to say in future. Hope your day is going well!
Really? No social media experience before this platform? That's very interesting, never thought of Steemit as a first time entry point for people to get on social media!
In terms of it as a blogging/writing tool, it's actually done pretty well. I've been using wordpress for several years and Steemit is very easy to use. Basic formatting of text can quickly be grasped with the use of Markdown and I really like the ease of importing images. YouTube embedding is completely straightforward. All in all, they've done a good job in this aspect and if there's something to fix, it's really just small details.
