Great post. I accept that Steem is not perfect and people will abuse it, but that does not mean we cannot enjoy it and help others. I see massive potential if people can get past the suspicion that it's all a scam. It's not really like anything else and you have to adjust your expectations. It takes work to succeed, but you can make that fun. I don't make enough to justify the time I spend here, but I enjoy it.
Yes, that's a good one, me to but things are improving. McDonalds are recruiting, but I prefer the freedom offered here.
There's no scam, no 'you must pay', but expectations are simply too high for new people.
