Roughly one month ago, CryptoHero opened a Steemit account. We wanted to be involved in the experiment of blockchain-based social media. We wanted to experience an alternative financing mechanism to the ad-based, corporatized network that currently dominates the digital world.
And what an experience it's been! While we haven't exactly made a fortune on Steemit, it's been wonderful interacting with like minds and discovering new content. Moreover, Steemit has set itself apart from the Buzzfeed-esque world of modern social media where long-form content is shunned in favor of click-bait; in-depth articles have the potential to do quite well on this platform, which is a breath of fresh air!
Not quite there yet, but here's to hoping!
A few days ago, our account broke 100 followers and we're really happy about this organic growth. Thanks to everyone following this account! Thus far, we've produced a mix of articles and podcasts, but we'd love some feedback; what kind of content would our fellow Steemians like to see going forward?
Our next major milestone will (hopefully) be 500 followers, and we'd be ecstatic if we reached it sooner than 5 months from now :P
