I used to be an avid Reddit user and I still go there from time to time. While the website is riddled with negativity and hatred, there are still a lot of positives. Don't get me wrong, they are both completely different and unique and it should stay that way. With that said, there are a couple things that make Reddit great and I'd love to see become more popular on Steemit:
So sometimes the questions aren't of the best quality but it would bring a lot of creativity to Steemit. One of my favorite parts of Reddit is being able to pick the brains of such a diverse demographic. There's a lot to learn about people's opinions or small - everyday things.
Following the theme above, we can really get to know the PEOPLE behind Steemit using AMA. I'm sure Steemit is full of an even more diverse population compared to Reddit and everyone has a story. For those of you who don't know, this subreddit is used to introduce people from a unique situation and it gives the community the opportunity to ask them questions and get answers. This might range from prison guards to blacksmiths.
To add to this, Reddit's IAMA subreddit has brought it huge attention from well-known people around the world. One of my favourites was Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield's AMA. Many actors, actresses, musicians, and even politicians have used this platform as well. This would bring a lot of publicity and credibility to Steemit.
Steemit is slowly taking over for my social media platform of choice but there are things to be learned from the existing ones.
What do you think? Should Steemit find it's own way or are there features from other platforms you would like to see introduced?
