I'm glad you decided to focus on the positive aspects of Steemit. Usually people only discuss what they don't like here 😄.

The indirect proof of everything you described is that I do not use Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. The only exception in my online life is Steemit. I won't hide it, I came here for the rewards first. But then he discovered a whole new world for himself. My turning point was communicating with the authors in the comments. That's how I understood a lot, who strives for what, what values ​​he professes, what is the potential of this blockchain, how everything is arranged here, etc. Then it turned out that rewards can only be a pleasant addition to something bigger, something that cannot be measured materially.

With the beginning of the war in my country, the economic situation deteriorated rapidly. Many companies went bankrupt. I had to look again with renewed interest at the rewards offered by the Steem blockchain 😆. Excluding various part-time jobs, I can say that I have been living on Steemit income for almost a year. I think this will change in the near future, but the fact that blockchain can extend a helping hand to different parts of the world where trouble has occurred is an undeniable advantage. This is something that no other project can offer.

As you may have noticed, Steemit is also a great platform for charity. Here we, as a community, are able to accumulate certain resources and help people who are in trouble. This is another feature of blockchain that cannot be overstated.

I think Steem just has incredible untapped potential. But even what we can already see can significantly help people. Most cryptocurrency projects are created to enrich a few people. Probably, this project was also conceived in this way, but as we can see, Steemit has become a place of human social interaction, and people can do wonderful things. 🙂
