So Steem was presented to me originally as a social media platform, and while there are many personal articles written, I don't personally feel like it has yet reach social media status.
For me, part of an effective social media platform is that you can just share about your day or even just a quick blurb and people respond to it.
So far my experience on steemit.com has been that really well written articles are usually rewarded here but just small posts about my day are ignored. Even more than that, one of the awesome things on platforms like Twitter or Facebook is that I can just post a question and people will respond to it.
So far when I have tried to make similar posts on steemit, they are ignored and I get no response from the community. So this is a cry out to the steemit community to not just seek after profits here but to seek connection with people. If we are going to promote steem as a social media platform, we need to be seeking to build relationships and make connections with new people in the process.
I admit I have been guilty of just seeking after trying to make a profit on this platform and have not done a good job of getting on here for the people I have met. So for that I apologise and want to do better.
I hope to make some true friends on Steem in the future.
