Your concerns are valid, @denmarkguy. Steemit seems a wee bit like Bubblews in my view, and that is not reassuring. I've been on HubPages for over 4 years and earned a little money there. They place a premium on quality, which is a great thing. Their emphasis on quality alone has allowed them to outlast many other writing sites.
