Recently I wrote a post explaining why I think that STEEM is a scam.

As a follow up, I decided to compare Steem to some other Cryptos.

How do we make sure we are not being taken advantage of by the steem company or it's algorithms? Do we need even more transparency?
If you don't see the value of Steem...why are you here? It's still in beta!! More changes can be made!
Well from what I hear bloggers are being paid. All of us 'new users' love the stories of the big whale and see a potential sustainable life with work we actually enjoy.
All the users under the spell, the users that are now 'reachable' through the steem platform, is what gives steem owners (and whales, are they the same thing??) the power they can exploit through businesses and other wealthy people that want to sell their products, or agendas... for money (or bitcoin??). We can all buy steem (power?), can we all make a profit from blogging?
Wow this is such a sick methaphor for how capitalism manifests in our society. Everybody is under the spell of money, and money is incredibly dis-evenly distributed. Yet, we all keep contributing (hiya!).

Well. In about four months, I have bought other scams like bitshares (about 2000), NEM (1000) Using only Steem. So to follow your line of thinking, I have bought other scams for a scam. Or something like that.
So to sum up: I Used the scam steem earnings to buy into other speculative scams.
All for unusable content. Tell me what usable content have you found on Facebook lately? Your Neighbours cat?
Have you ever thought of the meaning of the word "scam"?
The problem is that you have no idea what you're talking about.
Wrong. I'm not offended. All I'm saying is that you waste everyone's time by claiming scam when I personally have experienced the opposite. You're disconnecting from reality and creating your own.
there is a way to monetize your traffic. look at Facebook. They did it.
Just because there's 'not a lot of great content' here doesn't mean SteemIt can't become a very highly ranked website with tons of traffic and thus begin to monetize it either through promoted posts, ads, or whatever else they choose to do.
The owners can, will, and are making money from this platform.
Nothing wrong about being sceptic , i always am . what keeps me here ? No banners pushing clickbate , Cat , dog or endless selfie's . Just for most part quality content here on Steemit . It could be the drive for payment that makes content of higher quality . Ill think i stick around a bit to find out ;-) .
