Matter of time - down with Facebook
photo cred
What's it going to take for people to get their heads out of their Facebook feed, and into the steemit wave!?
All Facebook has ever done for me is take and take.
It takes my photos. Takes ownership of any materials I post. And regulates it's users to their specifications.
I haven't seen them offer much of anyone any kind of profits for their content.
The most I've seen has been from multi level marketers who are continually exploiting the users and massive spread of available clientele through that channel.
Does this mean it's the only way? Hell no!
You and I both know, there's more to it than that. We are steemians!
We know that things are much more gratifying when we are able to share the wealth and provide our personal support within the community when we see something we like.
That like button, has such a hollow meaning. But now, let's look at our steem network. We all know where it is. What we got. And the potential we have for greatness.
Every day we are seeing the steem umbrella spreading with things like dtube, pornd, and the like.
Let's keep in mind, of course. Steemit is still in its beta phase. But what a hit!
BAM!
End rant!
I quit Facebook a while ago because I saw how I waste my time there without getting anything in return. A few days after I discovered Steemit. Now, instead of mindlessly scrolling my newsfeed I spend time on Steemit. It was the best decision I ever made.

Indeed! I've still gotta cut that cord myself

STOPI still love facebook for fun, friend, information never thinking about money, here I got nothing yet
Yes, I fall victim to this charade as well. Being as it is. We don't even communicate our phone numbers we have. Just Facebook contacts. Our society is building a reliance on that service that just takes from us.
that is true. very great words. you are really great @vigilantrespawn.

What are you thinking.
New concepts...
Something came over me, and the words just flowed!
FB sometimes annoying. You are right!
Would be great if all the friends came over to the other side.
I've been trying to ignore The Facebook since I started steeming but until Steemit has direct messages and better community features It will be difficult to cut the cord entirely.
i think if steemit gets as old as facebook it won't be any different
We shouldn't fool ourselves.
Well, you may be right. Time will tell. Yet, the potential for more good things, seems a little greater. The network is still growing.

Great, that is so brave about critical.
Thank you for your support! These are strong feelings of mine. From the heart, as always.
Facebook is a waste of time without any incentives whatsoever.
You are right.
Since writing this post, I'm feeling it more and more
