But how does that make it a scam? Its not a place where you join and make millions immediately. If thats the reason you joined then i can understand your annoyance with Steemit. But in the end, steemit is a community like reddit in which you can share your ideas, get help on questions and issues you have and just share your experiences. I think joining steemit for only money will make you unhappy, you should join for the community!
