RE: "Dumbest Kid in the World?" Karma is Watching.
Great post, as always!
I really like that Steemit is an inclusive community... and it welcomes many different types of content. I am hoping it will turn into a global community of creatives and independent thinkers... seems to me that is our "niche." No need to aspire to become Facebook... besides, Facebook is FAR better at "being Facebook" than we can ever hope to be. But even if we just skim off the 1% "most alternative" members of the Facebook world, that's still 20 million people... and that's no small potatoes!
Can you imagine how amazing this platform will be with 20 Million. Oh My Goodness!
Well, the social blogging platform I was part of (Xanga) in 2001-2007-ish (before Facebook) peaked at about 32 million bloggers... so it's definitely not unthinkable. There are a lot of people-- especially in the 35+ age group-- who are sick and tired of Facebook's fluffy superficiality. Sure, FB is a great way to share photos with family and friends overseas... but if you want any kind of depth content? Good luck with that....
