As I said, I think people should know the worth of this website.

Excellent post! - 100% agree on every aspect of this.

I also love the fact that we can contribute as much or as little, and yet still feel valued from what we are saying.

Very well said and I totally agree with every word.

As a small creator myself who only started fairly recently I can see slow growth on my YT and Twitch channels, but I'm nowhere near monetization yet. I knew it will be a hard road, and while I'm happy with the slow growth because at least I can see small progress and I appreciate every follow or comment I get, it can be hard sometimes when I upload a video I've worked on for a week and I barely get any feedback so I ask myself was it even worth it to spend all that time on it?

I got my first payout from Just About. And ever since I got that first one, I got one every single month. And it definitely gave me that much needed boost to keep going. And this is something very important for folks just starting out, to get some encouragement early on in their journey and to see that their content is good and valuable.

I love the bounty system as it encourages different form of content, lets you do things which might be outside of your comfort zone, and seeing the other bounty submissions helps you learn. Even when my entry wasn't selected as a winner, I was proud of my work, people reacted to it or commented on it. And to get a notification about a mention in a curated article is a feeling I don't have words for. My English is far from perfect and I'm not a journalist by trade, yet to have something I wrote featured there for everyone to see... wow.

The organic rewards system is amazing, I check my phone when I get up and see the notification about the reward, it takes me by surprise every time, because I don't feel like I've done something special, I was just starting discussions or engaging with others like I normally would. To be rewarded for who you are and what you do day to day without any additional effort is possibly the biggest feature which makes Just About stand out.

As we went from Alpha to Beta it's nice to see more people engaging with each other, new names popping up on bounties which definitely means that they newcomers feel welcomed and encouraged to interact with the already established communities.

From the staff introductions we have seen so far it's clear that everyone in the team cares about Just About's mission deeply and I hope you are all very proud, because the place you have built so far is truly remarkable.

Just About has very quickly become a huge part of my daily routine, probably it's the platform where I spend the most time at. I have posts scheduled to Instagram, check Twitter occasionally, but only the accounts I put on lists because otherwise I don't want to see all the drama and toxic behavior. Yet even when on vacation I pulled my laptop out to write here... :)
