How does Steemit work?
Steemit is a social media platform that works by having the crowd reward the crowd for their content. It does this thanks to the Steem blockchain and cryptocurrency; Steem is 'minted' daily and distributed to content producers according to the votes they get.
Does it cost anything to post, comment, or vote?
No . It is free to post, comment, and vote on content on Steemit.com. You might even get paid for it!
How does Steemit differ from other social media websites?
Most social media sites extract value from their userbase for the benefit of shareholders alone. Steemit is different , it's a new kind of attention economy.
