I am new to Steemit, and like many users, I am still learning the platform and how it works. The main concept is that Steemit operates on the Blockchain. This is a new concept being introduced into the social media platform. Steemit is similar in many ways to Reddit. The major difference though is that Steemit rewards it users for posting, commenting and voting. So my question is, why keep putting money into the pocket of big corporations such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook? They use and rely on user generated posts to gain their earnings. With Steemit, you are rewarding yourself for well thought out and intelligent posts! What a brilliant idea.

Reddit was definitely on to something in 2014. Now this concept is a reality.
This quote from Steemits white-pages helped me understand better what Steemits vision is.
|"Steem aims to support social media and online communities by returning much of its value to the people who provide
|valuable contributions by rewarding them with cryptocurrency, and through this process create a currency that is able
|to reach a broad market, including people who have yet to participate in any cryptocurrency economy".
The Steem community provides the following services to its members:

measurable contributions to the Steem community.
