Is SteemIt all THAT?
When looking at the question about SteemIt, we can see that there are both positives and negatives, this is true about any platform! In comparison, Twitter has a character limit, making it impossible to write out a full length explanation of anything! Facebook someone else is making money, either the advertisers, from you buying the products they've advertised, or the CEO and the company from the work you've done!
SteemIt Cons
I know what your going to say, SteemIt is a platform built by someone else. Also it is very hard to really make money off SteemIt. Or even, unless a whale upvotes your post, your not going to make good money!
SteemIt Pros
There may be several other complaints, or negatives, things I have left out. However lets start on the positives, SteemIt provides a stable, secure, and safe environment! Unless your aiming for a niche market not yet on SteemIt, or very new, or posting something of little or no value to the community, you are bound to get upvotes! Sure in the beginning it may seem like lots of work and little or no payout! Did that ever stop you from posting on Facebook, or Twitter, even when you knew you were not going to make any money? If you're like me then you never bothered to post on Facebook or Twitter, otherwise think of how long it took you to build a group of friends there and all the work you put into finding friends, and posting things.
Just look at the evidence, sure if all you're doing is making small comments on others posts, will you make much, does it even matter? You'd still be doing the same things on Facebook or Twitter and have zero chance of making anything. At least on SteemIt, you might just be lucky enough that little comment you took the time to make, it might just make you a little money!
SteemIt also provides us with both a sense of community, and even helps us socialize with individuals we would never have been able to communicate with out it! Through simply commenting on another's post, it might just turn into a full conversation. It could even draw the comments of more than the original author. This would be the second level on the hierarchy of needs, and even leads right into the top level. Through that socialization, we can both encourage and support others to reach their full potential, all at the same time they are also supporting and encouraging us to do the very same thing.

Take a good look next time you search on Google, not yet for every topic, but many are starting to have SteemIt blogs up near the top. That alone means your work, either through blogging or commenting, is starting to be visible in places that matter. Therefore do not get discouraged, even when some people say SteemIt is not going to last, I simply look at where it has been, and where it is going. When I first started blogging, you could not find articles posted on SteemIt easily with Google, but over time and as things are changing, the posts are moving toward the top of the search engines.
My Idea Came From
Today, I read a blog by
, here, where he points out positives of SteemIt. After reading his article, I felt it was time to look at the positives of SteemIt. I have never been one to doubt the benefits of cryptocurrencies, nor the long needed improvements they are making! I'm always looking out for the positive, knowing that cryptocurrency is here to stay, and it is only making the world a better place, why would there be negatives?
Since all we have is this one life that we are living, and it is way to short, why should we not look at our present and see things we can do to improve the lives of everyone around us! Let's all do our part and support each other as a community! Thank you for reading, and I'm looking forward to your comments!
