Steemit is seriously powerful, we just need to protect it as a community and now allow bad influences in here.
And your right the people on this site care about each other and it shows in their upvotes and comments. I have seen countless stories and examples or people get bikes to help them get to work easier, donating to a good cause and so much more. Amazing things are being done here.
... life saving surgeries made possible through upvotes... People are feeding the homeless, paying their bills and improving the quality of their lives...
All with Steemit! Or rather- the people of Steemit :)
