I was working as a writer for Interesting Engineering and I was doing research on the internet. I came across an article on Steemit, and i noticed the dollar value at the bottom. I've been wanting a solution to the publishing/creative vs. money problem for my entire adult life. I thought that Steemit had the solution......
Most of my friends are some kind of artist, and they are all poverty-stricken. Artists have trouble monetizing their work.....writers too... That's why I stuck around.
And a big one: I have been seeking out an alternative to Facebook for years now. I got sick of FB about 3 years ago. And I was a Myspacer before that...... I knew there was going to be a big next thing, and I have been looking for that. But I found Steemit accidentally.
