RE: Arsenic Lullaby- hello, is this thing on?
I'll admit to your points of Dapps being over my head, since I only have a vaugue idea of what a blockchain is. as you said "I'm just looking for a platform that is fun to use" But if you can explain it to me slowly...I'll listen (it's not like I can spend my time voting on anything right now, LOL)

I'm in the same boat as you. I couldn't explain the blockchain to save my life. However, I do know enough to say that there are dozens and dozens of developers creating new Dapps (decentralized apps) every day that use the steem blockchain that Steemit is built upon. That means posts on those apps earn steem from upvotes just like on Steemit without even having to use Steemit.
Heck, even when I want to blog about something, I don't even use Steemit anymore. I prefer to use busy.org or @steempeak which are much more user friendly and mirror everything on Steemit.
I've already mentioned @Dtube and once that dapp improves and more video content creators join it, it would be a good alternative to YouTube.
There are also alternatives to Instagram (@Steepshot), Kickstarter (@Fundition), Soundcloud (@dsound) and Ebay (@steembay) to name a very few.
All of these can be used without ever using or visiting Steemit and use steem the same way. Granted, they are all in the early stages, so mass adoption is still a ways off but these are all evidence that steem is attracting developers and inspiring them to create decentralized apps of all kinds that don't need to be about blogging.
I can't even keep up with all the new Dapps. Some will come and go but I see a lot of innovative ones come out all the time and this can only help steem.
