IN a sense, if we remove from the architecture and blokcheyn cryptocurrency platform, Steem would be similar to the online community, and open a joint production company hitRECord, founder and head of which is Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
One significant difference between platforms and steemit.com hitRECord is the emphasis on the last cooperation. Since the purpose of Steem is the community itself and its construction, each "stimianets" - is still a manufacturer of its own content, which quality is checked sequentially community. If re-use the terminology Hesmondhalgu, Steem both characterized and cooperation, and competition (as opposed to Wikipedia, for example). Members steemit.com, in fact, divided into two groups - the "whales" and "fry" - that is, the large and small stakeholders, which are distinguished by the fact of how many votes they have and, consequently, by the role they play in determining the popularity of the published posts and compensation for them. Voting at steemit.com platform (which is possible as a vote "for" lifting post the list, as well as the voice of "against", lowers the level of fasting) has so far been one of the trickiest aspects of the internal life of the platform. Perhaps this is why people have started to experiment with different scenarios, analyzing and tricks aimed at getting more profit from their publications.
What is certain, however, is the fact that Steem platform has become a sensation in just two months after emergence, and therefore the question of whether someone likes it or not philosophy, is not so important. Much more important is to understand it and the success it has achieved to date.
