My first Steemit experience

Community is the first thing I noticed here — a kind of solidarity I never met on social media before. Steemit is novel in helping its users feel themselves creators and stakeholders, not consumers in the first place. Steemians are a tribe and I am proud of belonging to it.

What I felt from the beginning was a genuine freshness. It’s the quality of all new, life-changing things — they are energetic, playful, lively, creative, fun, they bring joy and a sense of endless possibilities. The same qualities also belong to money as a form of energy and it isn't accident that Steemit has a direct connection with money.

To sustain oneself by creating quality content for fellow humans is a big promise. It supports creativity and brings original content back to the information landscape which was recently dominated with copypaste, quotes, links and SEO text.

I also like the fact that Steemit, unlike Facebook or Twitter, isn't built around short posts. In my opinion, short posts lack form and structure to convey any decent amount of non-trivial meaning. Steemit feels more like Medium, but less elitarian and closer to the early times of blogging.

What I enjoy on Steemit is this: a high concentration of smart, creative people using smart, creative technologies and making smart, creative content. Which makes Steemit a perfect platform for those who have a vision.
