@rnobrega thank you for the insight. Sometimes my problem is I think I know too much and I think you're right that many would think of that reason (I may be to arrogant to admit that I don't understand all of it ;p ). @nonlinearone

Good post! Although I am far from a PHD I am a used car salesmen lol but I am glad that I am finally surrounded by smart people in something that I am doing with my life. You should re-title this 7 Reasons Steemit is not a Scam!

Thanks @cryptohead. I know some might not appreciate the clickbait, but it's important because this needs to be found by people searching the interwebs for "SteemIt is a scam" and "Is SteemIt a scam" and "Is SteemIt a ponzi". See what I just did there? SEO FTW.

Totally great marketing technique to use a headline/title like you did. If you go to YouTube (for instance), you would see hundreds of videos promoting "make money online" products that use this technique. Let people think they made a bad decision and they will read your article because we are all so afraid that we have made a bad choice and are always looking for somebody else's experience to see if we have made the right decision or not.

I got scammed here by not spending any cash and almost immediately got paid by signing in, and now I'm daily getting some interest on top of that. SCAM!

You know something is fishy whenever people only present the pros and never the cons of an idea. I feel like in an era when social media is contributing to the degradation of human interaction and society at large, a platform that suggests people post at least 3 times a day is verging on brainwashing and contributing to peoples social media addiction. I'm going to be blunt. It is very difficult if not impossible to make any significant amount of money on this platform unless you pay (invest if that's what you like to tell yourself) steemit. Not to mention the majority of "community" interactions I've come across on this site have mostly been with bots... This platform is like all the others (pay a lot, get a little back).

You are right.
It reminds me DXGold/DXInOne/...
We need to be very active EVERY DAY but always limited by "Bandwidth exceeded limit"! No more posts, no more votes, no more... ALL! Impossible to do anything during several days!
When you vote, you wait with the animated pic, you wait, you wait and nothing happens! In fact, it's again the "Bandwidth exceeded limit"! But there is no message displayed!
So, for being more 'active', you must increase your 'STEEM POWER' but with witch money?? If you are not a leader, you earn ZERO and it's too late today to become a leader.
I have just followed you and it's OK but when I refresh your profile page, I see I'm NOT following you! BUGS, BUGS and BUGS!!
There are MANY BUGS never fixed, no notifications on the site, by emails, etc... Not a professional site.
Look at all the members who have left this sytem ;) A lot of time wasted for nothing...
You trust a system hosted by unknown people somewhere on the web? Are there backups? It's HEAVY to manage this for which good reason??

I've been scammed so many times in my life that I can truly say one more scam won't matter so much. At least here I can share my views and hopefully someone will think it is worth it to reply or upvote, as opposed to all the other scams where there were no actions until I realised two weeks later that I have been scammed again. Bring it on!
