My Opinion On The Real Value That Steemit Holds

There has been a lot of stuff going through my mind recently. I wont go over some personal problems, but I will expand more on something I think we call all relate to.

I've spent today thinking about the things I should post on Steemit and it actually made me think about myself as a person. I'm guessing all of us reach a certain roadblock as to what we should post next on Steemit. So basically, it made me think about the things I really like in life.

Supposedly, to have a successful follower base, one must portray a certain niche in his posts and give his followers something valuable. I had a look at my posts and generally thought to myself - "there's certainly more I can bring to the table". To be honest, I could only pick out a few which have at least some value to my followers. But then I started to wonder what value actually is. Here we are on Steemit where everyone gets financial value from posting and curating. Money is money, but there's something more than money - the ability to make your users relate. If I could make my followers relate to myself in some mysterious ways, that is when I could feel happy and fulfilled with my stay on this platform.

This self-reflection made me appreciate posts like @acidyo 's Today is the day where he talks about quitting smoking. I can instantly relate, because I am a smoker myself and have tried quitting multiple times and he made an impact on me. Guess what - I'm a gamer myself and I know what a gaming addiction is. Posts like these are the ones that truly hit home when you think about it from a realistic point of view.

There's only so much value we can provide each other, as it is based on experiences and such. Though then I understood that there's more value than the ability to relate - there's entertainment, enlightenment, empathy and much much more.

So I came to a conclusion that no matter what I post, I will always try to bring some sort of value into them (gonna be hard once I start pumping out those CS:GO montages on DTube, hehe).

Thanks for reading my rant and hope you have a good day!
