People looking at this sight like it's all about the money.steemCreated with Sketch.

I don't understand why there is so many people posting things doing various things, thinking this is all about the money. For me it's the decentralized nature of steemit. Making it not censored and natural, why does it seem like everyone and everything is about the money in this place. I like it better than reddit and facebook because people are genuine and kind here. Unlike other places with more shit posts than even brains. It's a bonus, it's shouldn't be everyone's goal is to make a little bit of cash man :D Please for the sake of humanity think less about the money :D

It is not about money.
please post things that are worth while.
It is not about greed.

Truth. Many people do come in to SteemIt hoping to earn a lot fast. This is mostly due to people, whales predominantly, like Jerry Banfield for example, advertising SteemIt and making it seem like a 'get-rich-quick' thing. I do agree with you: the decentralised nature of this site and the whole blockchain technology is an amazing step-up from other sites like Facebook and Reddit. However, the money part of this still holds... Afterall, when you take away the platform, it is based on a crypto currency, and thus money plays a big role in this. Needless to say, I am not defending people who post anything and everything just to get upvotes, people who spam the comment sections with 'follow me plz', and other chancers on here. If a person is looking to both grow as a content creator and share their work, whilst also earning money - the income steadily increasing overtime - then this place is perfect for them. Nice post man!

Thanks man, I just think everyone seems to be thinking is all about the money here. Sure it could be a bonus. It's like wow. That's what tons of people seem to be focused on. In the end though I think it's better still because people are focusing on money, there are less trolls.

Truth, but there will sadly always be people who want to get money for now doing much on here
