I tried creating a Blurt account for free, but it's asking for a fee of 80 blurts to complete the sign up form! Sorta confusing for me! Any clues?

Oh...it seems Blurt asks you to pay for everything - sign up, post, comment....here is an article I found:

Better stick to Hive! Hope I am right in my understanding, myself being a beginner in the crypto world!

Thanks for this very helpful advice! I have requested for an account on Blurt Discord server and awaiting their reply! 👍🙂

At last, friend! I got on board Blurt, thanks to your generous guidance! 🙂

Actually I have been on Steemit since quite some time!

But nowadays I'm not active there because it's largely bot-driven. You get higher value upvote only if you invest big in bots like Upvu etc..
Would you kindly share your profile links on Blurt and Steemit please, so I can follow you there as well!
