Steem is no longer decentralised and may steal your funds. Use Hive instead.

I'm guessing Tsu had some advantages over Steemit. Perhaps related to user friendliness and mainstream appeal?
My chief concern with Steemit is how it can attract the attention of non-crypto, non-geeky common folk. Like people in my own family, who might not even be motivated to earn coins.
Good question. This may be where Busy and other sites will help. They can have a more user friendly version
My thoughts exactly. Money alone is not enough to inspire and spread a culture.
Tell them it's a really difficult video game with great prizes
I am with you Mr G... well said..
TSU was centeralized and came with all the drawbacks that brings.
"...like people in my own family who might not even be motivated to earn coins." but nonetheless, may be attracted by a social media platform that doesn't harvest our personal details and preferences for exponential corporate profit. PS I was a Tsuvian back in the day :)
Never got into Tsu... But for what i see, steemit is way better... :D
Tsu was a great concept, but they failed to live up to potential. Imagine if Steemit had millions of users!
I can imagine WHEN steemit is going to have millions of users! (it will happen some day)... I think my imagination isn't enough :D
Steemit.com will only have that many users if it shapes up and starts deliver a better user interface with new features. Busy.org or beta.chainbb.com possibly could pull it off.
Maybe that was their problem, they only have a single source of revenue. With steemit, everyone in the platform gives value to the community and if that million users will arrive in the platform, its value will risely shoot up and thats without ads.
Yes this is it's strenght, but I can vouch that a lot of users on Steemit/Busy/chainbb are constantly drawn back to their old social media hubs because of the lack of features here.
Money won't be enough to keep users engaged, although I sure am already.
same here
I remember having problems to sign up on steemit - some glitch with facebook sign in? Don't really remember.
Actually The following on tsu never gave me much. Posts still got like 30-50 views even with 17k followers. Most of what I made on tsu came from my network. I do remember people's frustration about favoritism and KH's cloud pics would appear in every category on the title page, haha. At some point I started avoiding the love group after Kevin wrote me to spam his group lol.
If tsu's investment wasn't drained, slaughtered and driven against the wall like it was, It really would have made an impact on the big networks and many of us former tsuers would have a business to run now. But seeing what is happening with youtube and ads being pulled off the platform and what crypto offers, It's good it was over and not relying on ad money is awesome because you create your own worth with friends and fans.
I enjoy seeing several familiar faces do well on steemit. Everyone can do well + even if Steemit was over any time soon - knock on wood, we got introduced to crypto and trading which, for many of us, seemed like dark magic containing algebra.
This is great hahaha
O, hey you! :)
Well hey you.. how are you? You were quite popular on tsu.. I will pop over and see what you are up to. :)
Im good and yourself? I've been on steem for a while but just recently went active again after my acount's worth multiplied by 10
I signed in .. left for 8 months then came back because now I know how to post photos...lol
Sign-up has long been an issue with Steemit, but I know they are working on it. As new users get some Steem they don't want people bulk creating accounts.
It is a gentle introduction to crypto. If the market in goods for Steem takes off that will be another reason to join up
I had been publishing on some weird website out of Indonesia and got an add for Tsu so I gave it a try. to tell the truth I was less than impressed! Steemit is much, much better!
The community of Tsu made it fun for me, but I've moved on now. Steemit fixes a lot of the issues it had.
Short and sweet I hope in answering this @steevc
Tsu was pretty pictures, mostly not taken by the individuals, therefore not their own content, popularity rating was evident and many just went out hunting down followers.
SteemIt so far, I have found interesting original content, major difference. No speed posting since you need a longer format explaining the topic in question. IMHO Steem attracts more discussion, it is not just liking something and moving on to make a quick buck. The information found here has been beneficial and of good character.
Curated works fall into curated section helping with sourcing information easier, knowing the person did not write the content but found interesting content to share.
The closest unpaid quality sites I have found over the years of good standing was Posterous and in Medium. Medium is still a great place to visit and use.
Thanks for the comment. I am more interested in words than just pictures, so I have not bothered with some of the other paying sites. I find plenty of interest here. I have to say I've not got into Medium, but I know it's big.
I was on Tsu too, it never really captured my imagination the way steemit has, but it was a great idea for it's time!
I think they missed their chance. I wonder if we will see Sebastian back with something else, but he lost the trust of many of that community.
I'd actually forgotten about it until I joined steemit, then I thought I'd check out how it was and it was gone, i never cashed out but I really never earned enough to justify a cash out anyhow.
glad you are here... I was at tsu too.
At least I took some out, but it was a tiny amount compared to what I've made here. I've not spent much Steem yet, but I plan to make use of some of it.
I'm keeping my crypto as savings, I cashed out of bitcoin a couple of years ago so you can imagine how I feel about that now
Nobody really know where crypto will go. You need good nerves to stay in
yep, that's for sure
Hmm, I actually had never heard of Tsu before. But anyways it's good that you think Steemit is going to stand the test of time.
There are lots of sites that never quite reach general awareness, but I think had better marketing than Steemit. Let's see if that changes
So it's brother ... steem on
I've never eard about Tsu before to start here on Steemit, but reading some articles about it, I think Steemit has some points that capture my attention more than Tsu ;)
I think Steemit addresses some of the issues Tsu had. I have more confidence that it will be around for a long time
I was in tsu it pays so little that I just run from there, wasting of time !
I think you have to do these things if they are fun. Easy money is hard to find :)
