I agree, "chitty". I enjoy writing, and I love, for example, seeing hidden themes in movies or music that others miss. I haven't spent any time on Reddit, but I've written plenty of stuff, and I am fascinated by watching money completely reinvent itself in my lifetime.
I've done some promotion of Steemit, but lately I've been focusing on just getting out there and giving follow "steemians" a digital handshake. I've also been slowly but surely learning the ins and outs of the platform.
Before I discovered Steemit, I was planning on creating a blog, with a web-site, a domain name, the need to learn certain, basic stuff like HTML might've even been necessary. Some of that stuff is costly. Now though, I see this platform as a great opportunity to experiment, hone my content, and still make a little money.
