STEEMIT is the new "TRUE MEDIA" that replaces both "ALTERNATIVE MEDIA" and MSM (Main Stream Media) !
For many years I have shyed away from MSM (Main Streem Media). After 3-4 months on Steemit, I found myself using Steemit as my main source of news and information. This is new! For years I have been on internet forums, like the resent years (Bitcointalk.org).
Being on these forums is a lot of work, since you have to “sort the information yourself”, reading a lot of non-sense and looking for that one small piece of “gold” in the forum.
With Steemit it is different, since the curators are doing that job of sorting the information. I just have to look for a high payout and that combined with a title that is interesting to me, then there is a bigger chance that post hold some valuable information.
Futhermore Steemit holds often videos, again the same principal goes: if the post have a high reward payout and have an interesting title, there is a big chance that post hold valuable information for me.
Conclusion: STEEMIT is the new “ALTERNATIVE MEDIA” ! That make the MSM (Main Stream Media) and the old “ALTERNATIVE MEDIA” irrelevant. For-instance I was listening to Alex Jones, from Infowars (alternative media on the internet), the other day, he didn't even mention STEEMIT while talking about censorship of the internet (STEEM CANNOT BE CENSORED) and FAKENEWS. This shows that there are now 3 categories of news media (in prioritized order!):
- STEEMIT and other APPs using the STEEM blockchain
- Old “ALTERNATIVE MEDIA”, like Infowars and others on youtube.
- MSM (Main Stream Media), like TV news and other TV programs.

Could not agree more. This is an interesting blog and thanks for sharing. Upvoted and now following.
I made a blog earlier. You may like to see it.
The scalability of Steem and Steemit is simply mind blowing..!!

Steem on!

Nice! I think we need to look more and more to reputation systems that provide a level of uniqueness. Trust with a valuable reputation on a public blockchain works really well. Thanks for the post.
Funny you should mention Alex Jones though, this is how I view his behavour, it would not make much sense for him to proactively encourage tools for our freedom. I think sources like James Corbett are more trustworthy and really important for long term success.
Alex Jones is good entertainment though. I don't think he is necessarily a plant - I think he sees himself as an entertainer. If you look at his really early stuff he was actually not anywhere near this over the top. We can't know for sure though and maybe never will.
I agree 100% ... But I want to take it further. It is just that I think we overlook how subtle the conscience is and how it may be programmed. All it takes is time and it will bite us in the arse.
It is not intuitive, one has to seek out and learn how this works. Of course I'm still trying to get it right (that will always be the case). It is a very big deal to me to get it right as best I can. The more I look into things the more I see the odds that we need to overcome. So, I'm quick seek information and then quick to drop bad ideas and quick to adopt new ones.
This lead me to avoid watching Alex Jones just because if nothing else that time is taking time away from someone that remains spiritual and rational and does not use cheap ego tactics. Spiritual (essentially getting out of the ego) and rational are qualities I find in the entertaining people I give my attention too. If I don't see those qualities it is not entertaining it is uncomfortable for me (by choice and practice). So I get a feel for cognitive dissonance and with practice watch out for it as a means of self defence. Practice is needed..
Definitely. I understand. I used to follow Jones but I only do it occasionally now and purely for entertainment. If you listen too much I don't think it helps.
Plus there is only so many times I can hear about "Big Berky Water Filters" before I lose my mind!
Again, nice post.. I can tell you're seeking truth and your good person to have a one of those challenging discussions with. ;)
Thanks you are very kind:)
I like to keep an open mind about things. Nothing should be set in stone. I am a skeptic but you always need to be open to new possibilities even if you are of a scientific mindset. Just think of people like Galileo.
Also I think even if we disagree with people we can get on. That is part of being a civilised society and having a fruitful discussion.
I don't like the way that we seem to have become as society where if someone disagrees with you it is somehow offensive.
Further I have learned to question more since I have cut myself off (as much as possible) from the mainstream brainwashing that occurs.
I find that if I start watching the regular news again I quickly become depressed and fearful. That is not a coincidence, there is an agenda there (whether you believe it to be conscious or not) to keep us in that kind of state.
I am crazy busy right now with you know what coming right on time, that I have nothing to say except that I am posting and upvoting every single post in this category I can until it gets "accidentally erased"
