We're undergoing a series of growing pains. Once Facebook became entrenched as the dominant network we got to see what characteristics of the human psyche it biases for. Needless to say it amplifies some pretty shallow shit.

I think we're at some kind of inflection point. With crypto on the horizon and Facebook finally getting pummeled for where it's harmful, we'll see alternatives, Steemit being one, that (hopefully) rethink networks in a deeper way.

Some people say economics is all about incentives. Appears to be no different when it comes to social currency. We'll need some systems predicated on incentivizing the real value that's been neglected by surface-level networks like Facebook. Bring on the revolution!
