I personally came to Steemit for 2 primary reasons.
- The hope thar it was a free and open space where anyone and everyone could voice tbeir opinions and beliefs without censorship
- Not gonna lie the prospect of earning even a little extra cash on the side was certainly a bonus
But what I want more than anything else from Steemit is a community. A community that supports each other without the need to tear each other down for the fact that we're all as unique as our opinions and beliefs. So even if I spend years on here, make no money, make lots of crappy posts and say things that not everyone agrees with my real hope is to make real connections.
And also - great post. Helped me understand a lot more about this community.
Agreed, I was honestly looking for no censorship and money, I found both!
Hopefully I don't make a bad impression and get down voted heh. But so far, other than all the talk about peoples posts disappearing etc I've found this place to be fantastic. Its supportive, friendly, funny, crazy, outlandish, outspoken and everything inbetween. I dont know that I could ask for more. And its awesome to know there are like minded people here.
Yeah it is awesome, haven't seen any of my posts get deleted yet but this place is great!
well said!
