Funny you just posted this. I uploaded a video on my YouTube channel about 30 minutes ago explaining Steemit and trying to educate people about it. I talked about the platform and how it works.

I love Steemit more by each passing day. It has an actual function and purpose, ordinary users don't need to pay to get in, it can showcase content like other sites but monetize it.

And even if you aren't a content creator, the users can write meaningful comments that generates money for them. So even if they don't have an interest in producing content, they can still acquire money by commenting and upvoting; something they have already done for years.
