Hi! Glad to see you here. I think, like every platform, it has it's own unique form of content that performs well. More users with more diverse point of views will bring in a richer environment. I personally intend to gather a large stake and then use those stake to sponsor my favorite content creator like a patron.
Their greed gland is going to be juicy after seeing a few hundred of dollars coming from their posts and I will probably ask them in return to mention that "this episode is brought to you by steemit". :-) Now, I know I am going to keep using youtube for entertainment / educational purposes and twitter for shitlording social justice warriors. But if I want to be surprised and discover something new, steemit will be the place I go for sure.
