In a Nutshell;
these are NOT Social Networks ! STEEM, hive, and now Blurt (since you didn't know about it but it's 5 years old) are Blockchains with really good messaging built into the Wallet. But they are web3 thingamajigs that can be used for MUCH More than a sinister social networking site. Since forever I have been waiting for a Champion to come along and take the reins of these tools to show the MUGS how to break out of the matrix or somesuch...
The first Champion was Justin Sun Von TRON, who spent millions and millions of dollars with the SteemIT group to have the keys to a large number of accounts. But Justin also spends Millions on banana art, and he already has a top ten crypto running.
The second Champion was the hive Cabal that grew from the March Fork 2020... Long story short, the hive cabal PROVES that both Steem and hive are broken from a tokenomics point of view. I'm not even going to touch the discussions about censorship. The Tokenomic's argument settles MY DISCUSSIONS AS IT BOILS DOWN TO CONTROL OVER ANOTHER INVESTOR'S STAKE... then they use excuses like blocking Spam as their explanation for Token Theft and Market Manipulation. Several members of the hive cabal are also perverted deviants who probably want to molest you... IDK for sure since I won't have anything to do with them unless they actually want to get law enforcement involved... especially the hive members from Canada.
The third Champion works ... that Champion comes in the form of a steadily growing, second Fork of Steem that was done properly and has been running very well for 5 years without Bombastic Authority Figures, without manipulation, and without a DOWNVOTE.
The TL;DR Here is that Blurt is a PERFECT spot for you as an Amazon Publisher and YouTube (or whatever) "Content Producer." All of this I can Prove... :bacon
