When I joined steemit i thought to my self that it would be like facebook, but in all fairness it is nothing alike.
Its more like a cross between twitter and reddit than anything like facebook.
I enjoy steemit I really do but I think what make people come back here is the fact that anybody can make some cash by posting.
Thanks for the post and i have upvoted and followed you :)
Thanks, artonmysleeve! I will follow you too! I realize that steemit has tons of value, as it encourages the sharing of ideas, art, photos, and everything else in between. In a sense, it's nice to be able to write stuff without all my family and friends knowing about it! So, I guess, steemit and FB scored 1 each. :) No, actually, steemit scores another point because on FB, some people glorifies their life. On steemit it's not necessary. So, the score is FB 1, steemit 2.
I've not been on FB since joining steemit, I think that FB is too intrusive into peoples lives, I once put a picture of my daughter on there and I got some random guy give it alike. this made me so mad so I changed my settings to the highest they would go, but after that, I stopped posting pictures of my kids on there, so in away facebook gets a -1 for me because of said reason lol
While been on steemit I have made some friends, we have met up and shared food and drink together. it was a class night, and to make things even better steemit up votes paid for it. I some how don't see facebook doing something like that lol
