Thank you for posting @cryptoctopus this query/poll as to why Steemit.
For primarily the same reason as @whatsup. It is private....uncensored....and to add a few more reasons...why?......no government interference...and to be a guinea pig of sorts for others who were on other social sites.
No social media site has been of interest to bleujay. Therefore the idea of putting content forward to dialogue over was a real draw to remain which could not be possible if one has no privacy and is censored.
Steemit so far is a winner. It has gone beyond any expectations.
