Nope, not a first-time blogger. But I am getting my feet wetter and wetter in the world of blockchain.
Why is it working at Steemit? Well, I think the platform has done a couple of things right like the focus on original content. Financial incentives always help 😉too.
Now the challenge for Steemit is reducing churn and retaining users when they have a couple of bad months at the slot machine. On the other hand, if the platform really delivers as a social system and helps people grow and find community, well, in that case, the money won't matter. I hope old and new users, old and new bloggers can bring something different to this platform.
