Steemit has become the polar opposite of Facebook. Hasn't been over run with ads. It's a better online community full of people uploading useful information and cool stories. The main thing is it's a much more positive social network, while FB is known for being a site full of drama and toxic people posting their negative thoughts or venting all the time. The only con for me using Steemit is the absence of my immediate friends and family. The concept of Steemit isn't known or understood outside of the world of your everyday instagramers, tweeters and FB users of the world. Other than that Steemit has been a wonderful opportunity for me to grow, share and be creative.
