RE: Steemit and the Fine Art of Selling AIR!
I'm here 18 months now and I still can't get over getting paid for my writing. A small miracle indeed! Plus, if you look for it, there is a great sense of community here, people giving each other a hand up. Granted there are those who play the system but there are those types everywhere.
It is definitely nice to be rewarded for writing!
I'm not exactly new to getting paid for writing, but I'm used it it being far more time consuming because it involved installing Google Adsense on blog pages and generating Amazon product links and such things. Here it just happens automatically. Similarly, on other "rewards for content" sites, there was endless time to spend being out there plugging your articles on social media or you wouldn't make but a few pennies.
People "gaming the system" are merely a sad part of our reality... they are everywhere, trying to gain through shortcuts and hacks.
