I'm new here as well, but I differ in my perspective in the value of steemit. There's more reasons to be here other than for financial gain, and I hate to say this, but if that's the only reason you're here, maybe this isn't the best place for you to invest your time. Personally, I enjoy the CONTENT shared here, by fellow anarchists, agorists, and voluntaryists. Plus, I think this is a great place to begin learning more about cryptocurrency, coding, and how to use blockchain. Maybe you want to consider the value you place in those subjects before dismissing steemit prematurely. Remember, steemit is still in the developmental stage even though there's been quite a stir on breitbart, motherboard. vice, ibitimes, and other websites.

Things will progress for those who consciously decide to take the time here to create content that is their own original thought out ideas, fact sharing, and creative pursuits. I see this as one of the more challenging sites and for that reason, I enjoy it here. Hope you find a change of heart.
