On Steem I have experienced a freedom of expression that I have never experienced anywhere else in my life as it has encouraged me to delve ever deeper into what I know and who I am and add it to the world, not hide it away. Some people allow the votes to direct them, up and down and that has sentenced them to creative death - it has made Steem a job.

I love this and it parallels my own experience and feelings. Being able to freely write down or video tape your innermost thoughs and opinions and have a audience that can eagerly consume it ( and make a little "change"on the side) is something you cannot find anywhere else, imho
