With the way most main social media platforms are going sites like these have nowhere to go but up. I remember seeing only posts about steem and i still see a good bit of them. However I am seeing many of them replaced with a great variation of article types. This platform is not like facebook, twitter, or instagram. Not in the essence of currency accumulation but in the time that it came about in the market.
People are looking for alternatives now. I hear it daily and I consistently share with them this site.
When facebook came out i think the only competition was myspace which became more of a craigslist than anything.
Steemit however... It was created into a saturated market where most comminication areas were covered. Zuckerburg knew this when he mentiomed that facebook would not have any dealinga with hate speech. People are going to want to have a place to speak freely and what platform better to do it on than steemit. Im sure he knows about thia site, and im poaitive he sees its potential like voth you and I.
Im in it more for freedom at thia place than currency. My investment is more of a sponsorship. Hopefully with this sites succsess well both fimd money on the long run.

Maybe with a little time, a lot of work, and some messups by the competitors will do us good. I k ow one things for sure. This site has to get more user friendly. Most of my friends complain about not having the time to kearn the ins and outs of the site to post. There are so many keys to remember, and a lot of the time i hear earned revenue from the site in conversation.

Its just that though. Like i said, this site is still in baby stages. It will mature as more become tired of the way the others are operating. At least that is my hope.
