Thanks for your reply to mikebike's question which I very much appreciate as I have similar questions. The other answers above are really not speaking for the level of steemit- collaboration. Your answer can inspire me to even engage here as I find it very mysterious and un-understandable, the whole steem thing. It's not self-evident and even doing posts is somehow antiquated in comparison to other platforms. So why would I use this one when I have no idea if it works and if the dollars are nothing better than likes on Facebook?
Can anyone give me a convincing argument for the usefulness of this platform which would justify the initial learning and the extra work for posting?
Thank you
Heidi
