Where i come from steemit is a new thing and few people know about it, i personally got to know about it a month ago. My boyfriend told me about steemit and it seemed to good to be true so i literally brushed it off. He began to spend more time on steemit and even cancelling our dates. So i began to dislike steemit bit by bit and him bring the word steemit in our conversations would lead to an argument.
Then the idea of him cheating on me began to kick my head so i decided to create an account like he had asked me to. The first thing i did when they approved my account was to search for him and i was shocked by what i saw, he was always posting stuff on his account and i could see all the effort he was putting into this. I felt bad for not supporting him from the beginning.
After sometime i then decided to login on my account without having to stalk my boyfriend lol, i read an article by a lady that was talking about her life experience then i discovered why steemit meant so much to him.He was free to post anything and at anytime he wanted and also get paid for it.
There is no spiral of silence on steemit, one is free to post whatever they want and such power is what made steemit more fascinating for me and hope to grow in the steemit world
