I joined Steemit when it was fairly new in 2016 because I was researching the different cryptocurrencies and what they were about. I started actively using the sight only a few months ago. It is a plus to gain rewards for posting and curating but I also believe it is much more of an open platform than Facebook because our streams are not censored and if it seems like fake news it's probably someones opinion. I have a positive outlook for the future of Steemit as it continues to grow.
