I "came for the rewards, but stayed for the community."

I feel the same way. Although this conspet isn't new to me. I was on livejournal for over a decade and made lifelong friends there. One of the things that really pulled me into steemit was that it seemed so similar to livejournal! I love it here and I look forward to celebrating my own one year in November.

Thank you for sharing such a positive post! :)
