I love the fact that Facebook marks most of my Steemit links as spam now!
Do you think they are getting worried?? :P
The number of musicians that responded in agreement when I said I was getting fed up with Facebook constantly trying to shove their ads down my through whilst simultaneously marking my links as spam just shows you how fed up people are with it!
Once people realise that they can a) as you say be part of a less narcissistic community and b) actually get paid for posting content I think there will be an exodus.
Can't wait!
Yes, definitely they can be part of a better community! Of course, as I mentioned in another comment, I wonder if the narcissism disease is part of the musician and not the platform....
They did the same thing to Tsu back in 2015 over similar reasons. They had quite the row over it. I deleted my Fakebook account in 2012, so the altercation caught my attention and caused me to do my research about the site.

I'm sensing a parallel, no?
Yes, not just that parallel.
I really want the decentralisation technology to suceed. I really think it holds a lot of promise and will be an integral part of some tech developments to come. However, we need to pick our fights wisely. However big we think we are, we are still tiny compared to the established groups.
Our boon is that we're not beholden to advertisers. Now, if we can get the celebs from Tsu (Vanilla Ice, Skrillex, Carmello Anthony, Lance Bass) to join Steemit, we'll do really well!
Yes, this is a big plus. The lack of need to monetise the users. I'll check if any of those guys are on my contact list...
