My first week on steemit -- my new addiction!

in #steemit7 years ago

My first week on steemit, thoughts and views. Later today it will have been one week exactly that I have been on this platform, so I figured that I might give a short review. Or at least my impression so far.

  I have nothing but positive things to say about this platform it has become my new addiction. The community that exists here is AMAZING!!  and I truly mean that. Every one here has been very supportive and positive, this alone is one of the reasons that this platform will grow and grow. I have never understood the negativity that exists in so many other platforms. I can understand if you want to help someone correct bad information, or to possibly voice your opinion adversely to their view, but the out and out negative comments are really just uncalled for and sad. On here I have encountered some of the most honest responses and generally kind words I have seen anywhere. For that I want to thank all of you that participate here. 

I guess to not make this one big rambling paragraph I will break it into my top 5 reasons I have fallen in love with steemit.

  • Positive environment 
  • Helpful fellow steemians
  • Genuine and honest comments
  • Gerat value filled content
  • A sense of true community 

Positive environment. 

    As I touched on above I have had nothing but positivity directed my way. I browsed the comments of many posts before making my own comments, or post just to prepare myself for the ensuing wrath of others. To my surprise, I read nothing but positive things. The blogs felt the same way upbeat and full of good feelings. I felt this to be the number one thing because it ties into every other item in my list.

Helpful fellow steemians

  It really amazed me if I had a comment / question the creator or another commenter was more than responsive to give me a good answer. Another thing was if I found myself commenting about have enjoyable or useful I found the information they would suggest other sources, or areas to look as to give me a more complete understanding of the subject. I will not deny i need all the help I can get, working on getting over the curve..lol

Genuine and honest comments 

  While reading comments made to my blogs and responses and to others, I noticed that the people commenting seemed to have something to say. Yes occasionally you see the spammy one line, but even then they where not shitting on someone or being rude, it was always good job or something similar. A lot of the comments had thought and or feeling behind them the pure honesty of that is nothing short of spectacular. 

Great value filled content

  This was a major thing that I noticed. The value within the majority of the posts it unsurpassed in many ways. the creators on this platform really truly strive to create value. It can be information on cryptocurrency or on how to sing up to the platform, or how to bake something. The variety of information is great and it is growing every day, or at least I seem to find something new every day. I am a consumer of knowledge so it has been a slice of heaven to me. I am thankful every time Im here because I find something I may not have even realized I needed to now. Thank you to all of you putting in the time and effort to create all this.

A sense of true community

  To me this is a direct result of all the items listed above. When you comment about enjoying someones post and they take the time to comment back, or possibly direct you to more information. Or how they have taken the time to give you as complete and full a understanding that they can on a subject. This is what community is supposed to be. We all have something to share wither it be a skill we have learned, a shortcut to completing a task, a story, or a piece of artwork, we each have our own niche and sharing our talents or knowledge enhances us all, and for that I am most grateful..

It has been a wonderful week and I am looking forward to many more....

I hope I did not bore you and you made it to the end. If you enjoyed it then I feel I did my part, and I would appreciate it if you showed the love and do your part in upvoteing this post. Thank you!!
