Hi, I'm also very fresh in steemit.
I think it's easy question.
Why sould we waste our time in social network (like facebook) that gain money from our activity but don't share profits, while we can do the same thing and also gain from it.
Indeed, there's a lot of problems in steemit. It's still not so comfort like facebook and etc. But it's the future, and if you will be there first - you gain more, I think...
