Let's refresh our memory and try to ponder on the pros and cons of Steemit.
Pros
No doubt Steemit is paying money and people do earn on Steemit, not all but some of them do earn a handsome money.
Plenty of users active on Steemit you can interact with.
Steemit is growing rapidly.
Steemit is the platform familiarizing one to the crypto world.
It's centralized so there’s no governing “centralized” big brother telling you what you can or cannot do or say on the platform.
It can give extra exposure to established publishers with Steempress plugins.
Cons
It's hard to build an audience when you are starting in.
It's a bit hard for a newbie to cash out converting Steem to Fiat directly. First they should convert Steem to BTC and then BTC to Fiat.
It's a bit confusing for a newbie as how the system of reward distribution works.
Guys with huge Steem Power controls most of the reward distribution pool which may lead to abuse and corruption.
Good content isn't always going to the trending.
