Real talk, it is a decent platform but like with so many places 'online' our people are usually on here struggling. Most of the money is made through Votes; so if people don't like our people chances are they're gonna hate, skip over our content (No matter how good it is) - the usual things we experience; however I don't believe they can censor our thoughts on here like on other platforms; and you Can technically make money if you find enough people that DO like what you share; as I see a lot of people on here clearing hundreds per post; others clearing thousands per post. (Most of them are white or asian of course) ----- The other side of things is you Can invest directly into Steem; Buying and Holding Steem 'could' turn into a profitable move in the future; Still too early to know for sure. Good luck on her man; followed you and resteemed one of your posts.
