I am back to steemit again after, what looks like a few years since my last post, and only came back after reading a post from @c0ff33a about steemit and his involvement with it. Maybe this is not the best time for me to do so, as my thinking at the moment has not been in the positive channels recently.
To be brutally honest, I had forgotten all about this site, and was more than amazed that I had kept all the password keys etc, so to finally get logged back in again felt like an achievement!!!
So, I'm back, and I'm looking at things, and.... I'm still taken aback a bit by the same sort of layout of things, that visually to me are still looking dated. Now, don't take this as an attack of any kind, but just a personal opinion on what I see when I try to log in for the first time and then set about checking on what interests me... and maybe that's the problem, I'm not quite doing it the right way!
I'm a techie, I like to read about certain types of tech, learn from others experiences, and usually that means a quick search on the likes of YouTube and I can find a massive amount of information to hand. And of course, the google search takes you on a journey that can be good and bad... but ultimately, you do tend to find things that are interesting.
On here, and on DTube it just seems to be an abundance of people promoting crypto, making money ideas and the likes, and a lot of padding as well, or am I just being over harsh and blind to what steemite is all about?
I realise that this post may seem harsh, and extremely negative, but it's actually the complete opposite! I'm looking for people who understand steemit way better than me, to guide and explain to me what it's all about, and possibly explain why it should be treated differently from YouTube and personal blog sites?
I think the slickness of other huge sites has me spoilt to a degree, and I'm spoon fed the way to do things, but I hope that you can understand that if I am seeing things in this light, what about other newbies who are looking for a platform to use?
Is steemit for everyone or is it for specific people? I'm interested on feedback about this!
Also... to end on a very positive note... I hope that each and every one of you have a goff New Year and that 2020 brings you good health, then wealth!
