Basically Two of the known crypto social networks right now are Steemit and GetGems messenger. I see on the GetGems group sometimes people comparing GG with Steemit.
I don't really need to introduce Steemit in here I guess so let me give you a brief intro about getgems and then let's compare the two quickly.
GetGems is a social network based on the very open source of telegram. The crypto related to the getgems messenger is called GEMZ.
How does it work?
GetGems offers what they call advertising channels, you subscribe to those advertising channels and people pays for ads to appear in these channels, users view these ads and they get paid in GEMZ. So lets say there are 10 viewers to an ad and the advertisers just paid 200 gemz to advertise on this channel, these 10 viewers will split the 200 gemz with eachother resulting in 20 gemz each ( if these numbers were that high i'd be exited but don't get your hope too high right now it a small paying app in construction)
Which paying social network does it better? Steemit or GetGems?
-Steemit developer team is fully transparent in what they do
-GetGems developer team were shady all along the creation of their app even tho they used people money to build it up. They closed the BTT forum and left clueless hundreds of investors who felt they were scammed and ended up dumping their coins into the hand of the devs who are trying to control the market.
Tranparency point would go to steemit
-Steemit pays their user very healthy amount of SD for the attention and interaction they provide to the network
-Getgems pays next to nothing, there are days where you earn nothing since there is no one buying ads and at the best days you can earn as much as 1/5 of a cent....yes a penny!
Payout and earnings point would easily go to steemit
Steemit is a unique idea, inspired from reddit indeed but totally built from scratch.
GetGems messenger is not a unique idea, it has been done before and in a more successful way which is already happening right now, they did not build anything from scratch its basically the telegram application with a few tweaks !
Uniqueness and hard work point goes to Steemit hands down
Actually ill be honest , I dislike GetGems messenger but still use it since I made friends in here but the process of GetGems from start to end has been nothing but a big failure and I though for a second crypto and social networks may never work...Until Steemit happened.
I though GetGems would be able to bring non crypto people into crypto due to the concept of being paid in crypto for viewing ads paid in crypto.. I was wrong and pretty much gave up that the idea of being paid for our attention was lost until Steemit happened...
Steemit has everything to bring the masses into bitcoin.
-easy to use
-easy to earn
-rewarded for your interaction
-you don't need to wait after earnings, you can earn as soon as you start working it
-a responsive community
-a responsive team of developers
In my opinion Steemit can offer so much more then it does right now
-a new way of crowdfunding?
-a new way of helping people in need
-a new way of rewarding content writers
-a new way of working from home
I could go on and on and I am just exited I discovered this social network as early as right now and glad ill be growing slowly along it.
