"Come for the money and stay for the community".....
Steemit to alot of people us an eye opener to the limitless opportunities online expecially to newbie, so on finding steemit and knowing you dnt have to invest any money to earn from it...already has a " first sight" attraction to it....
But when you come in and see how reputation works, how the community interact with comments and chats...
You automatically fall in love and stay with the community...
I in particular had such exprience...
