STEEM'S HISTORY
As CCN reported in 2016, Steemit is a social media platform that encourages quality content production and discussions with a voting system. Votes translate to Steem and Steem Dollars (SBD) tokens, which can be exchanged for real money or other digital assets. The Steemit platform acts as an alternate way to earn income for content publishers who usually have to rely on obtrusive ads or paywalls. Steem also says that helps publishers who are frustrated with:
Tips and donations are not viable due to the expense of processing micro-payments
Huge social networks like Facebook take profits from publishers but don’t share revenue
However, the project has long-standing struggles with bots and malicious players who try to game the voting system, as the popular userwrites. Still, the numbers do speak for themselves, as Steemit had only 2,000 active users in 2016. Also, according to the project’s website, it has so far paid out $40,154,371 USD in rewards since June 2016.
