When I first started using Steemit I thought I would not use this platform as much as I do today. Okay , there are a lot of issues here on Steemit. But I still continue to use it every day. It's fun writing stuff about things you enjoy and earning money through it. Even though you don't want to join Steemit because of the money. I usually earn about 1 dollar per post. Which is close to nothing. But it is still a huge improvement when I started out with 1 cent reward per post. It's a long-term investment. But it needs to be fun doing it , otherwise it will become very dull very soon.
I check Steemit every day. Several times a day. I guess it is addictive. But so is Facebook and other social media platforms. I have to say when I discoverd Steemit, my activity on Facebook dropped close to zero. I just do not care about it anymore. If you are looking for value on Facebook, you could be searching for a very long time. I'm not saying you find value right away on Steemit but it will be more than on Facebook.
So you could say I'm hooked to the platform. :)
