Is STEEMIT Being Censored on FACEBOOK?
Steemit community, I think Facebook knows about Steemit and is trying to stop any of us Steemians from organically getting individuals onto the Steemit platform.
I have been posting Steemit links on Facebook and have been seeing the same thing (see below). No nice thumbnail picture, no text description, just:
In his most recent personal vlog even @dollarvigilante touches on the fact that Facebook is doing something weird whenever he posts Steemit links. Consistently asking him if the Steemit link is spam and even after he says its not several times Facebook still doesn't let him post it. Just press play below to see the clip I am talking about (video starts when he addresses his problems with Facebook)
I know some Steemians are having success on Facebook with Facebook marketing but these individuals are paying money for this right. I have a feeling Facebook is allowing the marketing dollars to come in, but is trying to censor users trying to organically market to people on their site.
What do you think? Has anyone else has had similar experiences?
Thanks as always for your time and attention.
Namaste
of course FaceBook censors the competition. It did the same with Tsu. I have no doubt that it's censoring Steemit.
I did not know about Facebook and Tsu thanks for that knowledge. but right it comes as no surprise. Facebook's business model is not set up to pay its users. Once their users come to Steemit, their retention rate is going to be so low.
that may very well be true.
only time will time :)
its not supposed to be a surprise, facebook is all about one person while steemit is all about everyone else
Exactly, I am defintely not surprised in the least bit. It just confirms how strong Steemit is for anybody that is on the fence.
exactly my point, facebook is what it is and Steemit is what they people like u and i are ,making it to be. Can we strike a deal mate?
of course my brother. we are saying the same thing buddy :)
Nice. They understand what a big treath steemit is. :)
exactlyyyyyyyyy buddy exactlyy :)
it's threat dude.. not treath
If I owned a social media platform like Facebook or Twitter, I would definitely also censor my competition.
steemit has so much potential for stealing users. Smart business move by Facebook, however annoying for us.
and thats why you will never own one. good business people always try to put themselves out of business before the competition does. If Zuckerberg was smart and not egotistical he would have integrated blockchain technology into Facebook a long time ago.
And Censorship is a short term tactic' it's a band-aid. Even worse once people find out about the censorship it has a bigger effect in the opposite direction. doing the right thing is always right.
