It's not just through content creation. It's so much more.
We have people that have taken it upon themselves to promote the steem blockchain in their own countries. And they are not hired to do this. They do it because they believe in this project.
We have developers that have taken it upon themselves to create apps and frontends for the Steem blockchain. And they are not hired to do this. (they can monetize the blockchain on their own).
And all of this is happening without the Steem inc team being involved in any of this (as far as I know).
The Steem team can just work hard on making the blockchain itself as solid as they can make it. With, HF20, SMT's and scaling.
With the Steem blockchain, you don't have to wait for a team to do everything for you. You can start today. Because the whole blockchain is already working great.
It's not a promise in the future like so many projects out there.
Some have already started like @good-karma. He just released a new version of his eSteem app.
New eSteem version
@good-karma released a new version of his fantastic app called eSteem. I have been testing it all morning and it works great. Check out his release post here.

Indeed! a lot of steemians (myself included) are doing everything possible to promote this platform, make its coverage wider, make the platform better, add value to it and reach out to a lot of people to come in and invest in the platform.
The Steem blockchain has a lot of potentials and it'll soon attain a higher peak, reputation and adoption.
Oh! Esteem has a new version? I'm downloading it right away.
Thanks for sharing this.
Happy Steeming
yeah it's an old term to me that got bolted in when 'social media' came along, the worse term for 'audience' i've ever seen yet nobody else knew what to call it -- i've always been 'socialable with my media' that is if you want it you can have it for free, it's always been the 'content' component (the audio, video, text, graphics) that people notice and can lead to what we would normally know of as the 'work' and the 'process'
the wonderful thing about a transparent, open blockchain where your activity is the metric of engagement it's up to the audience to validate your 'content creation' -- it feels very much like a bs term like social media but it's just the building blocks of 'doing the work' -- i spent so many years trying to explain to people, brands and small companies why they needed to do the blogging, media and video parts of content creation -- problem is most people in business are not normally creative about storytelling or understand the benefits of speculative communication to customers they don't have.
with steemit i'm able to communicate the work i do on a daily basis, maintain a blog and get a bit of payment for my time and involvement, it's the involvement over time that creates longer lasting relationships in a decentralized world because our legacy is here for all to see -- the lines of hobbies, work and life in general blur and turn into a utopian digital life experience.
It's like you combine video game + a new digital currency that could be traded into something real. Are there actually any other platform that also works as social media + Blockchain or is Steemit the only one?
It's very clear that it's working because of the reward system. It makes the whole system more engaging. Also probably work so well because people are kind of fed up with the other large social media sites that are censoring stuff and becoming stagnant.
But much of this also just happens because the world population is growing so fast that just a few companies cant capture all the value under some huge umbrella. Every single individual is starting to become real powerful because of how empowered they are getting because of new technology. And with new research and development that constantly push the price down. Machine learning has another massive part in this.
You create a nice positive feedback loop when people faster get rewarded for good content. With other platforms it takes a longer time. And then you may forget what it was you did that gave you a reward. The quicker feedback makes people adjust faster and optimize. And people like to get rewarded more from other users than some company. Because it feels more special and personal.
We are probably all moving slowly ahead into some new era. But there will be many bumps on the road that's for sure! But we truly live in exciting times for people who want to work for themselves or express themselves to the world.

@exyle you are so right about the market being volatile. It's up and down every day and can certainly put a lot of stress on the mind if you are not careful. Putting some value back in the bank makes sense.
For me I'm enjoying Steemit now. I started taking photos and sharing them over the last year on my blog, but since the start of 2018 I'm getting heavily into D.Tube - just made the D.Tube trending page for the first time today! Woot!
I think D.Tube is a great community it allows people to be 'down to earth', unlike Facebook and YouTube where it's all about the showiness. . Thanks for always sharing your thoughts out in the open.
I'll be updating my eSteem app shortly too. I used to be doing 100 comments a day when it was first released, hopefully the bugs are gone now.
I know this comment is kind of late, so you may not see it, but steemit is very unique. It is one of the few coins that has a Technology and a use that is actually USED. Many coins have a platform that can be used, but the platform is not used. Nobody uses the other platforms. Steemit is a finished product. The technology is finished the platform is finished. It is ready to use. Many other coins don’t have this. And if they do, like I said it’s not used. Even many of the major coins don’t see uses with their technology, its just pure speculation. Steem is not speculation at all. And everybody here knows that and knows how the Steemit platform is the best platform out there. We all know steem is very undervalued at the moment since it is able to process the most transactions per day, and this is proven each and every day. We all know steem is great. So we try to spread it to others, hoping it catches on. With more youtubers trying out dtube and talking about steem, the Steemit Blockchain will grow exponentially, I’m glad i beat the huge the crowd that will be coming. But even still we all need to do our part and expose this platform to others. I LOVE STEEMIT. And I think everybody here does too
