RE: Facebook is Dying in Front of Our Eyes
Steemit will never overtake Facebook as long as Facebook is easier to use. Steemit is complicated and frustrating, and unless they start putting some real effort into becoming more user-friendly, they will remain obscure.
i agree that steemit is hard to use, and is lacking features that FB and other social media platforms have. The reason for this is not clear to me, because it is possible to do just about everything on Steem, even stuff like private messenging, so it is disturbing to not see more evolution coming directly from Steemit Inc
However, the really cool thing about Steem (as distinct from Steemit, they are not the same thing) is that anyone could build their own Steemit. In fact, this website is open sourced here: https://github.com/steemit/condenser
You could take this code and make your own Steemit that runs on Steem. After all, this page is really just a sophisticated "blockchain explorer" like etherscan.io and the like.
Thats why you see other front-ends like Busy popping up, they're just different ways to view the blockchain. So ultimately, I have hope that if Steemit cant keep up, someone else will.
Facebook is so last Decade and the younger generation is a lot more tech savy, meaning that Facebook is like Bitcoin, It is the founder of social media and better things are yet to come...
I agree with @marketstack and I have personally deleted my Facebook profile do to the exploit of my information being sold to global companies via Facebook, yes thats how Facebook makes their money. People will do pretty much anything to earn money, and if learning to use Steemit is one of them then R.I.P. Facebook.
