Excuse my reluctance, but I've been on too many social website that pay to know that many simply fail. Bubblews and Tsu are the most prominent examples, and it seems that Rabadaba is also on that slippery slope to oblivion.
So as a new user to Steemit I am very reluctant to invest much time in creating posts on Steemit until I am 100% certain that it is not simply another potential failure.
SO what is it about Steemit that may make it succeed where all others have failed? I'll be intrigued by your comments.
