RE: Why was Steem invented?
hmm a community of givers ? no that does not excist ! When noone takes what you give , it will become a mess. I definitly do take as well. So much usable info that people write ! I feel hooked allready ! i read and read and read. When i wake up the first thing that i do is look to the replys i get :-) dont we all? actually i use this the same as FB but on FB i get sick of all the advertisments about things i might like, depending on my surf behaviour offcourse, they might see it as a help to you, to bring you fast to where you are searching for, but it takes away the fun to go on a search your self. I love interacting with other people. And i take it all in. So i see myself as a taker too. If i give ? i do not know, but i will try, cause the karma said i will get it back in tripple :-) It for sure makes world a better place
Maybe I over simplified it. Primarily givers here, yes we graciously accept gifts as well, but most people are, or at least the ones I've met, here to help others rather than looking for personal gains .
The great part is there is something for everyone, without fear of censorship by a controlling power.
