Remember my little experiment in which I posted the same article on Yours.org, Steemit and Medium? Well, today I revisited Yours.org, and, to my surprise I saw a few upgrades.
First of all, the homepage has now 2 sections: Hot and New:
The copy changed, reading now: "Earn cash for good content". I remind you that Steemit also changed its copy recently, from "Welcome to the blockchain" to "Money talks". There is also more metadata for each article, including number of reads.
But the most surprising change is related to the Cash In function. Before getting to it, I have to remind you that Yours.org is a tipping website, meaning you first have to deposit some crypto into your account, then each upvote will distribute a part of that amount. Until now, the only crypto you could deposit via Cash In was Bitcoin Cash (a quirk, to be honest) but now it seems you can deposit a wider array of cryptos, including STEEM.
Withdrawals are limited to Bitcoin Cash, though.
I don't know what could be the rationale behind generating STEEM by writing on the Steem blockchain and then going to another social media website and spending it there. Leaving this little oddity apart, I'm happy to see that STEEM is getting more traction and visibility, even among its competitors.
I'm a serial entrepreneur, blogger and ultrarunner. You can find me mainly on my blog at Dragos Roua where I write about productivity, business, relationships and running. Here on Steemit you may stay updated by following me @dragosroua.
