1000 Facts About Steemit That Are Not Discussed Most Oftenly: 999/1000 An Ad-free Decentralized Blockchain
Preamble
Hello the #stemian fraternity all over the world. This is your man @stbrians based in Kenya but with his heart in #philippines. This is the second post in a series of posts that are targed at #FactsAboutSteemit
What Are Ads
An ad is an advertisement. It is a means that do the following:-
. they create awareness
. they inform about a product or service
. ads have to command attention
. they should showcase the benefits of a product or service
. ads may convince or persuade but that is not their core aim
. Ads should call for action
Outcomes
Outcomes of ads is that people become aware of the products and buy them. Advertisers normally cash on this theory and offer ads service. Anybody who wants to advertise normally has to pay to run an advertisement. It so happens that the internet flocks with such advertisements a fact that is not entertained in steemit. Many companies offer advertising services including Google Adsense.
# Google Adsense #
Google AdSense is a program run by Google that allows publishers in the Google Network of content sites to serve automatic text, image, video, or interactive media advertisements, that are targeted to site content and audience. Wikipedia
So it happens that most writing sites run ads. The ads vary from a single click to a double click advertisements. We have pop-ups, memes and gif advertisements. These ads are normally a source of income to advertising companies and contributers of content. Çompanies or sites like Bubblews went under because they depended on loyalties from ads. They promised their members much money than they received from ads and had just to close doors.
Mostly ads are problematic and a nuissance to the users but have to keep up with them as they are an earning avenue. Some ads do not adhere to morals and ethics and at times display nude images despite the different range of viewers. Pop ups may also interfere with your work. They keep on popping up like popcorns and hinder your work progress Google Adsense also proved hard to get. Approving one was a nightmare to many content writers.
Enter Steemit Into The Scene
Steemit entered the scene with quite a different setup. They were an ad-free decentralised blockchain. The payment that its users receive come from the blockchain itself rather than from ads. Steemit is ad-free. It is very clean! Its system compares to the bitcoin mining rewards system.
That is what makes steemit a great site.

I resisted putting ads on my WP blog for ages, but I finally gave in. In 3 years of Adsense, I still haven't earned even close to what I've gotten on Steem in 2 months. I look forward to reading more of these facts, @stbrians!
They will roll in. Expect a thousand of them
LOL! Coolness, @stbrians!
