To me Steem also gives an opportunity to live my life out loud. In the presence of other Steemians watching it's kind of diary to me, a way to organize my thoughts and actually create something that others would want to consume.
At this time, no other mainstream social media channel offers such engagement. I do have a training blog/podcast for organists but it is mainly a one-way communication as other organists as a rule aren't creators.
On Steem I get to meet other creators like me which is empowering.
Couple this with the principle that the platform takes care of monetization issue that today's bloggers face and you get a very happily addictive experience, at least for people like me.

I like this sentence.
this is actually how I see most social media, a shout into the void to see who will respond with some read receipt, a thumbs up or star.
You'd think more people would be itching to get here.
