I am a long time Reddit user and I enjoy several subreddits, however I find the user base to be overly cynical and I believe this is a deterrent for meaningful discourse. Couple this with delusional power moderators and skewed corporate politics, and you have a potentially toxic culture that will eventually consume itself. But, that being said, the concept of decentralized social news aggregation is the future of media.
I am excited to be a part of the Steemit community as I believe it is a much more sustainable alternative to Reddit. I recently made the following post on my website and sent it out to my email list :)
Would you like to join me on Steemit?
Steemit is a decentralized social media platform which is connected to the Steem blockchain. Users are rewarded with Steem when they publish content that is upvoted by the community. Steem earned can then be converted to dollars and withdrawn after 7 days. If you are familiar with Reddit, think karma that can be traded for real money! My first post on Steemit earned $26!
I have been searching for an alternative to Reddit for some time now. While Reddit is an excellent source of traffic and has a multitude of thriving subreddits, the power moderators, corporate politics, and often cynical users leave much to be desired. Memeing will only get you so far in life…
Would you follow me on Steemit for updates, new tutorials, and to communicate with me directly? It is difficult to follow YouTube comments because old threads are buried in the creator dashboard by new ones.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! Going forward I would like to focus my attention on Udemy courses, YouTube tutorials, and publishing updates via my website and Steemit.
Best,
