I was having a discussion about steemit with my friend the other day, and he asked me' "if steemit didn't give out Rewards, would you still use it"?
The most attractive selling point about steemit is the potential rewards and payouts that you can earn from posting, curating and being active on the site.
There's only really two unique features about steemit that separated it from other blogging and social platforms like Reddit and facebook.
1 Steemit is a application built on top of a blockchain. And as far as I know, all that really means is, it's an open Ledger and all the information that was ever posted on the platform will be accessible to the public as long as the blockchain exist. Why that has value? I think its subjective and depending on individual needs. There's also a security Factor about the blockchain that's supposably makes people feel more secure about their information?
2 the potential Rewards system is extremely attractive. It almost acts as a gateway for your average Joe to enter the cryptocurrency world. The fact that i can in Theory get paid if people upvote my post is exciting in and of itself. There's huge incentive on steemit. So that's why we post.
To conclude, I do think steemit is a great idea. I can most Definitely envision a world where people are making a wealthy living on Steemit. In fact, there are people on steemit already that's making a grip of money from posting, curating and being active on the site. .
I will continue to use steemit in hopes that I can add value to it, and potentially earn from it.
It all depends on content, 9gag, boredpanda, reddit ant etc... as long as there are people who submits valuable content I would use it. And there are always people who submits content in order to share their ideas, information and so on. So I think we will always have people who adds content and see rewards as not the main object here :)
