This is a '50-50' payout postAdvertizers that decide what I should write? No thanks, no Amps for me, I don't blog that way. And there will be other systems, of course, would be weird if there wouldn't be. I think that I've turned every aspect of Steem on Graphene inside out by now.
In the meanwhile my Steem Power kept on growing. Even during a series of 'decline payout' posts. What if we forgot about that fiat money related value? Imagine if we all dumped it. Only crypto valuta, that would be something alright. So, I want to forget about that. I live in Europe, we don't use it anyway.
Okay, there are things that I dislike. Things I doubt, really, but it is for now the most fun thing build on a blockchain. At least there is no adverts here. That's already a big plus for me. And I see all the recent posts of the accounts I follow. Nobody filtering that for data-mining and ad selling reasons. Guess my conclussion is for now that it could be a lot worse. At least this blogging on a blockchain is working. And every account is a shareholder. Maybe it is possible that there is something better coming out off this.
Yes, I know it is still in Beta. And gives excitement, and I'm glad I met some lovely fellow human beings on this platform. Is this my final recap? No, I don't think so, it's my kind of blogging. It is the way I am. And going flat on my face, maybe learning something along the way, if I'm lucky. And when I upvote, I do so because I chose so. Just the same for when I reply and resteem what I want to. That is being true to who I really am.
So, SteemIt, guess I'll be around here for a while longer. Maybe even using 'Decline Payout' more often. Somehow it feels like blogging 'au naturel'.
Have a nice one!

I also like the aspect of no advertisement. I am sick of pop up ads.

I despise "in your face' pop up ads. The vile creatures that have programmed them put the nasty things on a timer now..JUST as you are finishing an article it "pops up" and harshes your mellow. Even worse are the ones at the start of an article. YOu have to go around them first.
Any time I encounter a pop up...I put that site on my blacklist.
Of COURSE I use AdBlock.

If I get linked to other articles that bug me with ads, I'm outta there right away! Good thing to block those ads!

That is one of the very positive features of Steemit, I think. That should stay that way.

Kind of fun to say. :-)

I'm glad to see the place is ad-free. The thing is though, I not only blog here, but I promote my talents as well. At times I publish a quick advertisement. This is business for some of us.
I'm most proud of how easy it is to get a potentially thriving personal business up and running using Steemit as the main platform to achieve this. For many like me, we've a better chance making money hustling art on street corners than we would if we had to take out loans and attempt to establish ourselves in the mainstream economy.
This place also gives the ability to advertise the way I want to. Nobody likes pop ups and spam and adbots and all this other garbage. Those depend on a quantity over quality principle.
Many of us here get a chance to reinvent certain aspects of advertising. I'm trying something new.

That is the a big difference I think. Advertising yourself is very different from being forced into pop-ups.
Here I can chose to have a look at your SteemIt spot. Not now though, because I'm going to sleep. :-)

Here it's more like handing out flyers on the street to anyone who makes eye contact and reaches rather than just walking over to the parking lot and putting a flyer on every windshield.
People like choice.
