Nothing better on the Internet for content creators wishing to monetize their content
Steemit is one of hundreds of applications or tools that use the Steem blockchain as their back end. What that means is that all the data is stored on the Steem blockchain. Steemit was the first web application that uses the Steem blockchain. I nowadays use SteemPeak. I'm not a whale and I started using Steem with barely any Steem Power in my account. A friend of mine who had joined earlier told me about Steem in 2017. I signed up on steemit.com and got my free account. My friend wasn't and still isn't one of the heavy hitters on Steem. Steem has a reward pool for newly minted STEEM for content creators and curators. There have been problems with some people abusing the reward pool. But I must say that despite any and all problems there have been, I have earned MUCH MORE on Steem that I believe would've been possible anywhere else. All I have ever done is make posts, curate and delegate Steem Power to a few projects. The reward pool abuse problems were mostly solved in hard fork 21 in August 2019. The vote selling industry died off and former vote sellers became curators. It's much better now. The token price has been decimated in the altcoin bear market but the platform works much better. If you're a content creator, it's a very good idea to create a Steem account and cross post your content from YouTube, for example. You have nothing to lose. You don't have to invest anything to use the platform. Steemit, Inc will give you a free account with some delegated Steem Power on it so that you can get started. The platform isn't flawless but all this negativity makes me wonder if some people actually prefer to be fleeced by the likes of Zuckerberg who take their data and give nothing back.
