Hi. I’m one of the new guys.
I stayed on the outside for quite a while up until I discovered Dtube. At that point I decided that I needed to give it a try.
I won’t lie. The main reason that pushed me to join is the hope to be able to earn with with my content.
Of course the content needs to be good. That goes without saying and I believe that in the long run good content will always prevale. Especially in this space.
I believe that the rewards system is what enables Steem to really be different. If you were to change that, then it would be a kind of mash up between reddit and patreon. Don’t you think?

Anyway. I’m new but I’m here to be a part of this community. Even though I know that your opinion on the herd that is coming is probably right : )
