Before I got to know the difference between Steem and Steemit as well as got introduced to other Dapps like DLive,Dtube,Steepshot etc... I honestly treated Steem as a social media "blogging" platform as it was marketed that way by many people.

Most if not all my posts back then where always around 500+ words as I think that people consider that as a basis for quality and thus possible upvotes(since it is a blogging platform) of course I was wrong.

Over time my opinions and thoughts about the Steem blockchain changed. It changed to one that will probably replace all the social media platforms in existence but instead of getting "pure likes" we are being incentivized by participating.

Also my opinions on what quality is changed and what I think will make this platform grow. Truth be told I am in the minority who thinks that in order for Steem to grow, people should be really free to post whatever they want, just like they do on Facebook, Twitter, etc.. There is just too much policing lately on Steem striving for quality that people are leaving the platform as they feel intimidated.
