I’ve been active on Steemit for 3 days now.
This is what I’ve learned.
If you’re a new user browsing through trending posts, you’re probably wondering, “Is this a blogging site completely dedicated to Marine Biology?”
No? That was just me?
Let me just say-- I know what a "whale" is now.
Even so, a recent article titled Whales, From a Strictly Extraterrestrial Point of View
written by 
“Finally! An article that is different and proposes an interesting theory gets the attention it deserves!” I thought, thinking back to a documentary I watched about squids and how eerily intelligent they are.
Then, as I began reading, I quickly realized that it was another informational post about the successful (whales) and the average (minnows) users of Steemit, and how important they are “in the grand scheme of an ocean of fish.”
Now, this isn’t a bad thing. It was still a great article, and I wasn’t disappointed for reading it at all-- but it made me question the content I was #writing.
Here’s the thing.
There are lots of educational articles about Steemit, for Steemit, on Steemit. That is totally necessary right now, especially for new users like myself who are wondering what kind of posts we should be put on here.
But that’s just it! I would have been equally interested in reading an article about how whales are secretly an alien species than I would have been on reading a how-to guide… and I’m sure there are tons of other weirdos like me that feel the same way.
