I've seen some posts about how people are shifting away from other social media sites and spending more of their time on Steemit. I know personally there are websites and apps I am done with now that I use Steemit. What has this site killed for you personally? What do you think it could really do some damage to at a higher level?
Here are my thoughts, leave yours in the comments!
Foap -
You give the app access to your photos, the community grades them, and then you have a small chance of getting rewards for their use or even smaller odds of winning themed competitions sponsored by advertisers.
Why use Foap when most decent photos posted here are guaranteed some non-zero level of support and great photos can get over $1,000! (Keep in mind the typical payout for Foap is like $5, with some competitions going to $200 or so.)
Medium -
I find the writing experience here to be very similar in quality to that at Medium with the added benefit that Steemit pays! While the average quality of the content at Medium is currently better in my opinion, it may just be a matter of time. I will still follow some accounts at Medium, but they tend to be ones that used to have independent websites that I followed before.
I will add more to this list as I notice dust gathering on their icons on my phone!
