Most steemit members see the platform as a place to make money because that is what they were told or see especially when they concentrate on trending and hot pages. On the other hand, however, apart from making more crypto´s (steem and steem dollars) , steemit has many other unique values that it offers to its members-here are some points:
Networking: I joined steemit for the money , however stayed for the community , people and knowledge. In fact, steemit is a great platform to meeting new people and thus make new friends, organize events and party´s . @papa-pepper , for example , do organize many get together events with fellow steemians . Moreover, an amazing get together by @karensuestudios and @teamsteem In Canada and USA shows how steemit is bringing interesting people together .
Moreover, there are a lot of innovative minds in steemit platform , collaborating and planning for the next big thing especially on joining a great undervalued token-example is www.elyte.tech .
Knowledge: It is argued that knowledge is power –this is true because with great knowledge comes success and power and we acquire knowledge through learning and experience-which is what steemit provides. In fact, new members should take out time to learn how things are done here, make friend / contacts and thus get more experience before they engage in full time blogging. Moreover, you can learn here about cooking, travelling, cryptocurrencies , blogging, nature , wild life etc.
Conclusion : Apart from crypto´s , steemit is a fun blogging platform, a knowledge hub, great for networking/ learning new things . In fact, steemit is more than just one thing - as indicated in this blog post. Therefore, there is no need for anyone to complain about the monetary part (money will surely come if you concentrate on other great part of steemit) rather we all should see the bigger picture and act accordingly.

Steemit is indeed more than money and I prefer the knowledge, education and networking side of this great platform which is changing lives -positively daily..therefore do not put your eyes on only money rather other top values of steemit and money will surely come with time

Steemit is fun, personally I see it as a blogging platform where I air my thoughts and try out different topics but it's not possible to ignore the financial aspect. As good as your article might be, you don't feel good of it doesn't receive the attention it deserves

Could not agree more. I also came for the money but now I do see it mere as a nice side effect.
I like to read opinions about various topics and like to discuss these with the steem community.
People just do use the interaction possibilities we have here enough!
We have just started with creating a sports betting community. Maybe not your cup of tea, but I just want to show that it brings people together.
The biggest difference with facebook, is that in facebook I do know my FB friends in real life. Here on the Steem blockchain I do get connected with people from all over the world. All of my Steem friends I have never met before in real life!
It is just great!
Like you wrote let's focus on the good things, in stead of keep on repeating that the system is broken. The system is not broken, we break it by not interacting enough with each other.
The average post/comment ratio according to the stats from @arcange is a miserable 2.6. If we compare this with facebook, twitter or other social media it is a shame!
Just my 2 cents!

It is happening, because whenever Steemians introduce Steemit, they tell that it is a way to make money online. So you get many people here, who sign up with big dreams and leave the platform after some weeks.
I also joined Steemit as a platform to earn money, but didnt gave up. I like it and loved the people here. It became a part of my daily routine and left other social media websites for it :)

Maybe those two factors intertwine and even reinforce each others. It's established, that social media can be seductive, as well as playing with money (aka gambling) is. Those two combined make a strong pair!

As I said at some other time, you know that I live from what I generate on the platform, as the payments in (my case) are low I have to make an effort to publish more, however not everything I do for the money, before working in Golos I earned money just as in this platform, however I no longer advertised on that platform, the most important thing that money, is to feel comfortable, what I like most are the relationships with people, it is nice and warm.
Excellent post dear friend @ charles1, many sgracias for sharing all those tips

There was a time when the steem was so low that it was not very logical to continue dedicating time to the platform, but nevertheless I like steemit I like to learn here, in this place there are super wise people and others with a lot of talent, at the beginning between here to make money but now I am because this is like my other social networks but with more things to gain than none and it is not money but knowledge

Oh, I absolutely agree with you. In addition to your points, Steemit is also an up and coming platform which makes it all the more fun to use most people are eager to interact with and learn from one another unlike on sprawling social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram. Hence, it is really easy to get more reach to your own words and help out more people at the same time.
The fact that you can get paid for what the crowd likes is actually a neat bonus which essentially motivates you interact more with the people on Steemit.
It's a really fun place to start a blog and reach out to others.

El dinero es una parte fundamental de la plataforma de steemit, pero hay que reconocer que no es solo dinero, hay entrenamientos, conocimientos y como en toda red social, existen las relaciones y las amistades que se conocen dentro de ella.
Money is a fundamental part of the platform of steemit, but we must recognize that it is not just money, there are trainings, knowledge and as in any social network, there are relationships and friendships that are known within it.

Dead on! Of course the making money part is appealing, but steemit really is the futuristic version of fb, insta and all the rest. Minus the creepy stalking lol I think the main two reasons that steemit hasn't already taken the alternatives over yet. Is convenience (everyone is already on the other sites) and the interface.
Once Steemit makes some upgrades and more people join. It will be the new fb, insta, reddit all wrapped in one. With the bonus of crypto!

Steemit attracts people because they see opportunity to get easy money. I mean it seems much easier to start earning here than on youtube or some where else. I got interested about the platform because of the money also. Easy money doesn’t exist though. There is only short term money and that you’ll get if you abuse the system and in reality you will suffer and everyone will suffer. Don’t kill the goose who lays golden eggs.
This said I started to search interesting people and accounts. It takes time which is asset that I trade on here, but I think it is worth it once you find somebody interesting and actually meet new people! And we have to remeber that steemit is only 2 years old platform. Remember how the youtube was like when it was 2 years old? You can check it here: http://tenyearsago.io

I entirely agree with that. Steemit has a lot to offer. You can learn the specific thing that you're interested in. You can blog about it and share your knowledge.
You can make video, share picture, meme and so on. The most important part is that you can connect with like-minded people easily.
