Personally, I think many here have not explored very well what currently exists that can work, at least they are social media based on blockchain or tokenized, have somewhat limiting issues, for example there are platforms that are oriented exclusively to a niche or theme:
For example:
https://trybe.one/?ref=5296 This is a platform more oriented to crypto, blockchain and everything related to that, is a token based on EOS, good community, the text editor is similar to many others, has a system in which their publications must be approved, plus it has a chat and messaging system, rating system and ranks, airdrops depending on the stake.
https://www.publish0x.com/?a=9wdL9vwejP This is another platform where they are oriented to cryptomundo, blockchain, and related issues, the difference is that it is agnostic, has 3 cryptos, including bat, the value of vote of users which have a bar that can decide the percentage given to the author, on average the vote is 0.01$, and you want to vote for articles, the time to vote for the same author is 24 hours, and for other authors 9 minutes, if bob wants to vote for alice, he votes, and if bob decides to return to vote for an alice publication, he must wait 24 hours, there is a clock in alice's profile, bob now wants to reward Marcus' post, he waits 9 minutes since he voted for alice.
https://www.uptrennd.com/signup/NzgxNQ this is another platform oriented to the world of cryptos, the difference is that here, the points that one accumulates, are used for several things, from buying greater visualizations doing it trend, to accumulating them in the account to raise the level, these levels serve for: at level 5 you can have your reference link and gain 100 1up for each referral, after level 10, each vote you receive increases to 0.1, ie if you have level 12, you receive 1.2 1up for each vote you are given.
https://www.narrative.org This platform is more open than the first, interesting aspects of this platform: The purchase of niches, which give you a bonus for being the owner of such a niche works through an auction, the form of distribution of profit, is distributed according to the votes, comments, publications ie the activity you do on the platform, the 2 of each month are distributed, has a mature community, but small, have a court for issues of the platform, especially on appeals of plagiarism.
After those platforms there are others oriented to other niches as they can be:
https://scorum.com : This platform is oriented to 2 topics, blog about sports, even e-sport, is really useful in this platform buy scr, and stake it, have 2 or more accounts and vote the publication to always be trend, in addition to giving rewards to other users, has a good community but need even more users, the other way they use scorum is as a betting platform using scr as a currency a great way to earn income.
https://smoke.io/ This platform is about cannabis, everything revolves around that, it has its own token called smoke, I think it's a bts derivative.
https://beta.cent.co/ this platform is like microtipping on eth, do a kind of surveys or questions, obviously you can create yours, choose the best comments and are rewarded, is an interesting way to publicize something.
Continuing with the same theme:
https://www.masmic.com questions and answers, winning xml, in addition to
https://tipestry.com/ another microtipping platform, obviously need users who make use of that platform as most of those I have named,
https://flote.app/ another platform,
https://www.zapread.com ,
https://www.creator.eco/ ,
https://whaleshares.io/ ,
https://fast.bearshares.com/,
https://main.weku.io/ .
That is to say there are so many platforms, so that only give as an example steemit, always try to write for news platforms on cryptos[But I always end up rejected, and it's unfortunate, but I'll try again until I can win by writing about things I love in cryptoworld, I have experience in those platforms and others that do not name, I hope you will find useful the information I have left, also as I am a fan of social media based on blockchain or tokenized, and cryptogames.
Steemit is not the best social platform really, 3 years there, and my vision change radically, there is a kind of dictatorship by those who have stake, also by those witness who become bullies, is a proof of fame, are currently killing those who make use of bid bots, after 2 years, almost 3, that the system was absurdly profitable and that kept users who do not get rewards but wanted to be trennding, monetize in steemit is, to be lucky for many, for those who understood the system was to make a project, a trail, ask for delegations, and interact with the really famous users, in the meetups, or steemfest, and obviously talk about how much you do for the ecosystem, here the best part is taken by the developers, although they placed projects that plundered steem, like dlive (which became linen), they had big delegations, and so, there have been plagiers and thugs as well, scammers, of everything on the platform, whale egos warfare, fights between communities that some seem more political parties, leaders of communities that don't move masses, but make a profit boasting of being leaders, getting advantage of such an image, most users are not so committed to the platform, the other is that each hardfork that passes, becomes more and more complex, new concepts, new ways which frightens new users, in the personal steemit as blog does not really work today, better is dtube, vymm, or use dapps of the blockchain de steem, my 3 cents.
