Steemit originated as a blog for casual posters. It is also a decentralized business platform. Sure we now have advertisements here, but people like @crypto.piotr provide a valuable service. They create focused awareness for businesses wanting to network with our decentralized community. Please keep this in mind. We in the crypto space are still all learning and developing our young market. Those memos exist for a reason. It is not like they are free via gmail or something. BTW, do you know if we are profiting from these ads at all?
