Shifting Tides: The Indy Media Explosion on Steemit

in indymedia •  7 years ago 

I came to Steemit about a week ago because I heard I could get paid for writing what I want. It's clear that I'm not going to make money any time soon, but am staying because I want to be a part of the revolution. I am writing for myself with my strongest ambition being to build up some SP.

I've been disillusioned with the web for a while now, meanwhile what I was looking for was right under my nose. I can't stomach traditional or social media services anymore. My love affair with Google is dead. Nuking FB later this week.

steemit can be rough going in the beginning, believe me I know from experience. Think about joining the MSP support network on Discord - The minnow support project. it's a great initiative for newcomers.

Thank you for this reference. I'll look into it.

Cheers!

Don't loose heart my brother! Welcome to Steemit you will find amazing people and liberation here! I have UPvoted you and am following your work! I will resteem some of your posts starting now - I hope it helps! Keep your pecker UP! 😉

Thanks you, am also following you. My voting power should work again in a few days...

Two days now for me. Heard about it from a friend. I completely agree with your viewpoint on traditional social media. I've had the same hopes for my writing as well, for years, never found a good place to contribute, though, maybe more-so a right enough place. And yeah, now, I too, feel like staying here regardless of the outcome. It's different here, in a very interesting way. I think this post by @v4vapid illustrates a number of the reasons; content/voices I've not even come close to delving into. I'm definitely looking forward to all I've yet to discover.

I know exactly how you feel. I think of Steemit as being The New Frontier, and you bet I want to be a part of the virtual wild west. Now we have to start building our boom towns.
