I think Mix is the one I looked into as a replacement and didn't get far; lost interest. I might go back to it, or continue looking for other options, if they exist. I'm sure by now some of my work would have hundreds of thousands of views if SU was still going, since a few posts were gaining traction like crazy, while others not so much; but that's just how it goes.
That external audience is important. I helped boost confidence as well because early on I'd have a post with 18 cents, but 1000 views and growing daily.... LOL.
I knew that about POSH. It's not quite reaching out far enough, but it does help; I can respect it. I'd feel dirty using the tag though, with no real following on Twitter, so I don't touch it.
Mix is the replacement by the SU team. They bought SU back from eBay but somehow didn’t manage to fully revive it and decide to go for a more modern looking and platform agnostic solution. Then they killed SU. 🤦♂️
One of my earliest Steem Posts was me talking about SU. I actually convinced a few to get on there and share their work over. Others looked at me like I was crazy. Back then any other platform was the "enemy".
