RE: 👍Food for thought # 21 - Steemit V/S Facebook [Gloomy or promising - The Stats]🔥
Facebook and Steemit will attract different people looking for different things.
The big difference I find is that Facebook tends to attract people who express their personal sentiments by sharing articles/images/memes created by others, whereas Steemit encourages originality.
We know that many people join Steemit after hearing that they can actually earn Steem for their content/comments. When this is their only reason for joining, and it doesn't happen quickly enough, naturally they'll be discouraged and inevitably leave.
However I feel that given time, most of those who:
- Genuinely wish to contribute to the wider Steemit community.
- Learn how to make the most of the wonderful Steemit editor (best I've ever experienced.)
- Find their 'tribe/s' ~ Engage ~ Connect ~ Bond.
Will stay.
And when they stay, their content and engagement will improve ~ Resulting in a FAR higher level of personal satisfaction than ever could have been achieved at Facebook. 🦋
You're right! FB gives you that joy of sharing and see the responds from friends...
Here on Steemit you feel there is an engagement between people having common goals and climbing the ladder together. Here I don't feel alone like I feel on FB.

I haven't used this service yet ~ But I like what I see of it.
True: Facebook can give one the 'joy of sharing' and a 'good feeling' when your 'friends' 'like' what you share. But from my observation: Essentially Facebook fosters lazyness whereas Steemit fosters extending oneself, personal growth and the spirit of community. 🦋
