And now, with these strange thing called “blockchain”, and services like Steemit built on top of it, blogging is even more complicated. Now, on Steemit, you have to: write a post, wait 3 seconds for a witness to include the transaction in a block, then hope for some bots to see you and upvote you (if not, do some quick bot bidding), secretly pray for a whale to notice you, and then, 7 days after, get your money in the form of 2 crypto currencies, exchange them for other crypto currencies and then for fiat. All this while keeping your social skills sharp, interacting, commenting, mingling and campaigning (if you're a witness, that is).

Look, I'll take this any day over the Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat BS. It's just a massive mix of insecurity and narcissism and it's impossible to tell the difference, though people are more insecure than they let on.

I'm not seeing any posts on Steemit dedicated to showing everyone how awesome your life is when it's not. And if I only blogged on my site, no one would see it. At least I usually get a few people to read my post.
