It's actually better than that Marcus! Steemit pays for your tuition: by paying for the creation of your account, adding 0.5 SP to your account when you join and delegating 14.5 SP to you so you have a minimum of 15 SP to make sure you have some voting power at the beginning, they actually pay for your tuition.
All that in the hopes new members will become contributors to the community. Isn't that cool?
Excellent insight! Your reply is appreciated. I didn't think to take it that far :)
Well, it's one of many things I learned in my short (but growing) experience on steemit.
This is exactly what I tell people that proclaim its a scam. So I tell them this, and then insist they watch me do a small cash out (let's not take out too much! Vests, name of the game) and then I say, well... These scammers let me get my crypto pretty easily huh? So many people are are stuck within the confines of misinformation. It will be clear. The early birds have it made, if your conceptual mind can see where this is going.. I believe, you see.
