Hey there @humanearl, love the post, as usual!

There are so many things that make steemit different from, say Facebook for example. Except for some conflict, this platform focuses on positive energy and all of the cool things that go with that like supporting new people, mentoring communities, the idea that genuine commenting is encouraged and rewarded, interesting and engaging content; I could go on.

In a nut shell, I believe that here, people post what they think others want to see, and on other platforms, people post what they want you to see. So the basic foundation here is a selfless one, which encourages selfless behaviour from others. And that is why I love it!

Cheers :)
