Question:

Compare Steemit with other social media platforms by talking about their advantages and disadvantages, and give examples from your personal experience.

Answer:

Steemit in my opinion is one of the best social media and this comes with full measures and proof. Before diving into what makes steemit stands apart from the rest, let me highlight features of what make Steemit similar to other social media in the following bulleted point:

• They are community run and used by People
• They require internet connectivity
• They provide a community for its users
• Both sees it users uploading their creative content to the world
• Engagment and connectivity

While the list goes on and on, Steemit still possess some distinctive features which makes it stand miles ahead and apart from the traditional social media. The Advantage of steemit over the use of Traditional Social media as been highlighted in the table below:

Steemit	Other Social Media
Steemit rewards its users for creating quality contents	Other social media doesn't rewards authors or contents creators for their creative contents
Steemit doesn't sell the data or own the data of its Users	Other social media sells the data of its users without permission
Creative contents created by a steemit account user automatically belongs to him forever	Other social media could claim the contents of users of their platform without permission or remorse
On steemit, Authors/ content makers earn crypto such as Steem based dollars, steem and TRX for their contribution	On other social media, Authors put up their content up for fun and sometimes visibility
Their is total freedom of speech on steemit	social media will censor and banned an account that uses some something words
Steemit does not ban or deletes its users account	Other social media deletes and block accounts that goes against there Terms and Conditions
Steemit is a social media platform that is built on the blockchain technology	Other social media were built on the web

Everything as its own positive and demerits also. Steemit is no different, it has its own disadvantages also and this demerit are pinpointed below:

• Authors could create content and still not earn and the reason is that steemit only reward original content that has been written by the author. Even when a piece of someone was used, it should be referenced.
• Steemit frowns at the use of bot as the platform was built to reward proof of brain.
• The coins/ tokens (SBD, Steem and TRX) given as a reward for quality original content might dip and lose the value of when it was issued.

Kindly note that other social media includes: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Wechat, and other popular social media out there

Conclusion

Based on the above, I must confess that as a user of platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, I have gotten my account deleted and banned on multiple occasions. This has led me to totally abandon the Facebook site as it shrinks my data while offering me no value in return.

Coupled with that, I have never earned a single dollar directly from the use of platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram but I have earned on numerous occasions on the steemit platform.

In all, I must confess that writing on steemit might take a lot as stealing other authors' content is being frowned upon. Only original content created by an Author is rewarded and this content belongs to the creator forever. In all, I will advise everyone to switch to the use of Steemit if you want to grow your creativity and also earn and learn while doing it.
