Above you can read the main structural differences between us and Steemit; besides we consider our platform as an ecosystem, in fact in addition to a fair distribution of advertising profits, we develop a series of features to make life easier for everyone:

The Guardians: a new protocol to check the quality of the contents.

Easy exchange: internal exchanger to make self-intuitive and fast cashin/cashout.

Rosetta: removal of linguistic barriers, with voice over and translation services.

Network Sharing: viewers will be able to monetize by sharing with their community.

Yes you are right there are many concepts and projects that aim to improve social media, I think they are all different and in the future, they can coexist. Today the monopoly of some social media has ruined the initial concept of social and internet its self, I think it is better to have many types of social media rather than a monopoly. Regarding the payments, we are planning to distribute 12% of the coins to all the people participating in the tasks performed. We are currently using Taiga for the division of tasks/coins.

I suppose to put more information in the first message, but I did not make a huge message.The biggest difference between our system and Steem is the payment method and the quality of the content. Steem offers a payment based on the influence of posts, while our system is based on creating quality content to receive advertising (although creators will still be able to receive donations and subscribing incomes).We try to encourage quality production in social media while from our point of view, Steem focuses on visualization. Today it may seem that the quality level on Steem is high compared to Youtube, but when big creators will start to enter the system everyone will try to make more visualizations and then it will create another Youtube. Therefore, small creators will no longer have the ability to make money. We will give creators the opportunity to make contracts directly with advertisers. So small creators will always have the ability to make money even if the system grows. Imagine a creator who has a channel where he talks about Chicago, certainly he will have a low audience and few views, but these few views can be used by a local pizzeria that decides to advertise his business. Even if there are a few thousand people, they are definitely interested in the pizzeria because they are from Chicago. Summing up we want to give small creators the chance to find small entrepreneurs who want to sponsor them. Giving to the creators the possibility to produce what they like, while small entrepreneurs will finally have the opportunity to advertise securely and conveniently on the internet (all the social media today are sponsored by large companies).

Just like what @ManaMan, give us more man, maybe you can find a lot of members who are willing and be interested to make the world (internet) a better place. 

Seriously though, since cryptocurrency is fairly young, we don't know, maybe your idea of open source media will take places in the next 5 years or so. Or probably post this is the services section to attract potential freelancers or people who are willing to join under you. Any sort of payment though? Or each one should do their part to make some money out of your project?

You have to provide more information as all you do is advertise but don't even put at end what are you advertising? What difference do you have over steem blockchain and it's competitor to youtube - dtube which is decentralzied through use of IPFS for instance? Of course getting members is a must and necessary step, because members are the key to platforms success.

We are a team developing a new open source social media.We have been working on this project since the first adpocolyspe problem on youtube arised. Today based on the recent issues, we think the existing social media needs a change and the changes have to originate from the community itself. We realized that if more participants join the community the more successful our project will be. Therefore, we are looking for motivated participants to join the community.
The main idea of the project is to give the ability to the creator to directly make contracts with the advertisers. The main goal is to change the incentive from content going viral to the quality of the content. The next step is to create a guardian system similar to blockchain miners but instead of verifying transactions they will verify content quality. We have furthermore ideas, but like I mentioned before first we need to make our community grow! We are specifically looking for front-end developers, graphic designers, and copywriters but any other help is welcome.
Please contact me if you feel we need the same change in social media!!!
