Steem platform has given many people the opportunity to blog and earn online unlike other social platforms examples Facebook, reddit etc. Moreover, financial gains are not the only benefit of this great platform rather steemit offers folks many other values examples:
Education/Knowledge: In steemit, you can learn about new things, examples cryptocurrencies ( example Ethereum Lyte see their current white list section https://elyte.tech/whitelist.html ) , cooking, art, nature, literature, politics etc. This is amazing because knowledge is power and such power always lead to success.
Moreover, there are a lot of innovations going on behind the scenes in steemit platform due to the ingenuity of steem ecosystem.
Contacts: There are a lot of solid contacts on steemit which can benefit members in their personal lives (friends, networking buddies etc) and business dealings, joint innovation etc.
Promotional platform: Steemit is great in promoting someone’s brand or business however for new people or unestablished members, this promotion comes with a high cost just like other social media platforms.
Conversely, however, there are downsides (unfortunately) to everything (technology) because nothing is perfect-some examples of what I dislike about steemit are scammers (scammers are in all social media platforms), spams, peoples sending phishing links, massive takeover of bots, abuse of posting limits with low quality posts in order to cash out (8 to 10+ daily posts) ,greed , addiction to the platform, and abuse of voting and flagging power.
Conclusion:
steemit just like any other platforms has its advantages (as indicated here ) on the other hand, there are limitations / downsides too. The important thing, is that the platform has given hope to many people who otherwise do not have any other means to financial freedom plus a great learning hub, networking etc and we all should be grateful to the ingenuity of blockchain technology.

I like steemit. You can learn a lot from this platform. You have easy access to enter into the magical world of cryptocurrency.
To get in cryptocurrency, you have to buy cryptos or mine them. But here on steemit, you can earn steem and SBD making quality post and interacting with others. This is so cool!

However, the best for me is awareness that I am part of the movement that is changing lives for better, allowing people to earn for life expressing who they are, I am also so happy for making connections with amazing individuals all over the world.
On the other hand, I also noticed hypocrisy, and I am not such a big fan of that.

I love the fact that Steemit allows for people to express whatever the hell they want. I've seen posts written by someone who is quite possibly a serial killer and then other posts that express a persons deepest feelings and experiences.
Not many platforms allow for such a diverse range of expressions.
I'm a little annoyed that you felt the need to pay for votes for this post. And also the fact that you seem to be displaying some affiliate link.
But hey, Steemit allows for voting bots to exist, so you be you.

Hahahah good point...the issue with voting bots is that small accounts need some of it to exist or your posts will be lost.

Steem platform has many advantages viz fast and free transactions, opportunities for everyone to have cryptocurrencies without buying them and the freedom of speech.
However, there are some downsides which should be addressed. Self voting by big whales, misuse of bid-bots for low quality contents, voting circles, flag wars etc are some of the downsides which are harming this innovative platform. These problems must be addressed.
In spite of these shortcomings, I think steem platform has the potential to be the most successful cryptocurrency cum social media platform. Best of luck of us all.

The best thing about Steemit for me is that it is one of the few social media platforms where there is very little to no negativity or cancer in most of the comments. I also really like the way this platform can be used as a personal journal to help with reaching specific goals in life.
What I really dislike is that the more Steem Power you have, the more the platform rewards selfish behavior. It would be nice to see the curation getting fixed.

That's true, I've been thinking about ways to change how being more selfish is more profitable for big accounts but haven't been able to crack the code.
I learned today that there is a dust threshold on Steemit that makes all post or comment earnings worthless when they are below 0.02$ as a way to combat spam. (read This Post from @fullcoverbetting about it.) I also have upvoted comments on my post often with 0.01$ often just to show that the comment has been read these past 8 months without knowing about it.
(I upped all 0.01$ comments to 0.02$ on this post)

This is pretty much very good platform to be and stay here, but I would definitely improve servers considering Dtube and similar because most of time it makes troubles and it just does not want to submit or upload videos.

Okay, so education and knowledge can also be gathered on reddit, which is atm a pretty good spot for everyone. But the thing what makes steemit standing out, are the contacts you make on this platform.
The thing what i hate the most right now, are does spammers. C'mon, are comments and all the variations like "pls upvote", "i need help", "great post", "you are right" and "anything you do or write is like a dream" the sentences you want to read below your posts??

The thing i like about steemit is that there is a strong feeling of a community which wants to work together. this is very unusual and something that must be treasured and built upon. People listen, suggest and act. That is admirable and i hope that never goes away
Since we are a young community the content that is really popular is in a very narrow band (blockchain, cryptocurrency, some humour...). Maybe as we mature, we will broaden our interests

At it's core, steemit is just a visual representation of the steem blockchain and many of it's problems like bot abuse / shitposting / making 12 posts a day and getting huge payouts on all of them can all be fixed or at least affected on the blockchain level - people who post with busy and other dapps may only visit steemit once in their life to sign up.

The good:
New pages have been created that help users, new and old to continue growing, there are more pages that vote your posts and that is very good for the Spanish speakers that grows more and more our community.
The bad, It must be for the same changes that the platform is doing that is quite slow, to move from trending to my blog, for example, you have to wait a while and often do not finish making the change and until my session is closed .
