Finally an alternative....

Hey everyone, first time here!

I'm super excited to have found such a promising platform. Quite the perfect time, too, considering the advertising  explosion and censoring issues with many, if not all, other platforms. Admittedly, I am not a huge fan of many other platforms and find myself just using a few common ones. I use Facebook and YouTube daily, and a few others weekly. I can't help but feel those in power of these platforms really don't care about the end user. I am seeing roughly a quarter of all posts on Facebook as ads, while struggling to see content I actually want to see. YouTube has been much better than this, especially with an ad-blocker. However, it's quite difficult to begin a channel. At least that's what I hear. While I am still tempted to create a channel, I am more excited about exploring and immersing myself in Steemit. From the surface, they seem to actually care about the end user much more!

So, while I am immersing myself in this platform, please let me know your thoughts and any tips or tricks I should know!
Are you here in hope of a better platform, or are you expanding to another facet of your social networking?
Do  you also have issues with other networks, and will Steemit help?

Looking forward to meeting and following people, and hopefully engaging in some intelligent discussions and thoughts!

👍 alexoz, j-savage, jennsky
