Welcome! Nice job on your introduction. I suspect your perspective on Twitter will change the longer you are here on Steemit. After a month here on Steemit, for me Twitter has become a trivial pursuit with some useful links and a lot of snark.
If you like photography, Steemit is great.
Yes the monitization is a nice by product, but so far the friendly vibe and content is what attracts me to Steemit.
If you want to keep track of how we are doing as a platform, I suggest following @penguinpablo who does a daily steem stats report:

Steem on and happy trails! @roused
Thank you @roused!
With respect to Twitter, I find that it is still a useful medium of conversation with respect to certain niches, however the signal-to-noise ratio has been skewed towards the negative end of the spectrum for some time.
Also, I have followed @penguinpablo and will keep an eye out on his daily stats reports, a great resource there, I appreciate it! :)
