I found St€€m because someone sent me a link to a piece of content they wanted me to read.

It had nothing to do with the site, nothing to do with crypto, nothing to do with blogging for rewards, nothing to do with blockchain. I made an account because I saw intelligent and respectful discussion (unlike the "yelling and screaming" on Facebook) and wanted to respond to comments. I was actually pretty put off by the convoluted and SLOW (at the time) signup process... but stuck with it, not because of an interest in St€€m but out of consideration for my buddy...
