far better than the articles at times!
Depending on the article posted by the author, when you read the comments, the story really unfolds, diverts and draws you deeper into thoughts and possibilities.
The author has a specific mindset and mission to share a thought or thing to others,that thought or thing takes the authors time to detail, emote or illustrate their tie to it. But this is only one person sharing their personal perspective and therefore limited in scope.
But when questions or observations are made by others that are "VESTED" in the story and want to clarify or share their thoughts or feelings on it, that is when the real grow occurs (in my opinion).
Educational System
I use Steemit mostly for education, looking for information new to me in many areas. Whether it is news, technology, science, art, health, or just human effort... something I was without before, now gained from another sharing valuable ideas and information.
This is what I try to add to the Steemit Platform as well (with slight divergence from time to time)... but the input from others in real relation to the offerings are what I really value more. How people see it and how they would expand, change or add to it, for me is invaluable.
What can't accomplished with this sense and sharing of community?
EXCEPT!
The inevitable, awful, mindless mindset and programming of the dreaded "Facebooker" and now even more dreaded beggars onslaught. This is where the comments are filled with folks that post a blob... I mean blurb like: "Nice Post, Upvote Me"... or "Follow me I Follow You"... and they do not even upvote the post itself!
To those folks I say... break those bad habits and join the communal realm of a new social media Steemit! That is the way you will grow and gain followers... through actual sharing of votes and a real comment that shows you actually read the post and it moved you to act and be a part of it.
You build community (for yourself) only by being a more integral part of that community, collecting followers is not the way to build a community, a following or the income you are working to gain... you will not.
Add your comments with real value!
