Hey man,
First off, Golem's in Alpha currently. You can join the Alpha here: https://golem.network/alpha.html
Buuuuuut, it's all testnet money. So you can't make a profit until the full release of Brass Golem in a few months. Signup to their email list to hear about that.
I'm a total Steem newb. I actually signed up thinking it was more like reddit (with many links) than something of a blogging platform. Still cool and I'll still participate. But not what I came for.
Yeah It's a big melting pot of ideas, I'm not sure anybody knows what it's for right now, bloggers do well yes, but it's a mix of everything mainstream(YT,FB,Twitter,Reddit,) everybody is just trying to figure it out, I'm not sure there is something to figure out :D it's just a bunch of clay at this point, well fashioned and with many gems inside, the fun part it's not shaped into anything specific, so It can grow in many directions, or at least that's how i see it :)
Anyways most people find it disheartening when they come with a specific reason in mind, Reddit would be one, the payout would be the most approached ad the censure free the third in the top 3 of reasons people come here. Either way I don't think it's either, it used to be a payout platform with no censureship aye, but then something changed magically, :D now everybody is picking up pieces wondering what is the point :D, I say we make one :D
Will check out the golem ,still haven't I'm not in a ruch for a payout either I just like the exploration so far, wouldn't stop myself tho if I was making a profit :D
Yes just what I had in mind indeed, Thank the team for me if you get the chance :) The security point bugs me a bit, but it shouldn't be a problem, thanks for being so honest :) thanks to the site that is :D
Good luck to you, if you have anything to say feel free to message me, maybe it's finally time for me to switch to the bender after all :D
