RE: Steemit - Unraveling the "Controversy"
Why are you amused by that? Everybody has their own reasons for beeing on Steemit. Some people might be here for the money, some may look at Steemit as a game and some might just be using Steemit as a social plattform, where they don't have the irritations of the big social networks and where they can start anew. I think it is perfectly normal to be on Steemit for other reasons.
There are certainly a few people who are here just to interact with their friends, family and so on. But as soon as you click on Redeem Rewards (Transfer To Balance) you are here also because of that revenue, regardless what you intend to do with it .
It‘s becoming more interesting.
When I came, my reason was not money. Some people close to me know that, as I even had a correspondence on that matter. :)
But, in my ignorance of that how the system works, I was making some mistakes not being aware that these influence other people, and not for good. Of course I didn’t like that, as those are people whose work I admire. So, just because of that I was shown how to use Redeem Rewards (Transfer To Balance) , so that, when I want and like to recognize somebody’s work, this at least should bring them that little something what I was worth in steem at that moment.
So, yes, as many people, as many reasons. We all have our right to choose and encounter everything what comes along with that.
