Hola. Doctor Sigmund Fraud here with some fresh, compelling evidence that Steemit may be addictive.


Don't be alarmed however, as recent studies have shown that for people with chronic anxiety, Steemit is actually less addictive than Benzodiazepines. If you happen not to have chronic anxiety however, you may wish to put some measures in place to ensure you don't become addicted to this new crazy internet money drug. It's just like cocaine. Don't believe me? Try cocaine, you'll see. Very similar feeling to creating content.

Addiction Is Preventable


Follow these basic steps to avoid Steemit addiction.

1 - Place photos of your loved ones near your computer. Their dismissive gaze will shame you into switching from Steemit to hardcore pornography at least twice a day.
2 - Get addicted to something else. This is surprisingly effective, although it can be rather expensive. Pro tip- Don't try getting addicted to marijuana. Best to stick with old reliables like gambling or heroin.
3 - Commit a felony. Can't use Steemit if you're in jail.

You may already be addicted.


The symptoms are a double edged sword, hence the image above of a girl with a sword.

Aside from bleeding eyes and losing all your friends, Steemit addiction may also cause:

  • feelings of worth
  • actual wealth

Don't suffer in silence, like the guy in the pic.

Hahaha this post is wrong on so many different levels. I love it. Really starting to get sure about the addiction part though. But hey, it's better than cocaine...... right. This post definitely consists of my particular brand of humor!!

Thanks dude. That made my day :)

Fantastic brand of humor! Steemit has to be better than drugs! Lol! No less addicting!

I laughed so hard, hahahaha. Great!

Funniest post on Steemit today, I think. I'll be following for more. Really well done.

I'm not addicted. I can stop anytime. Really. Like, right now. There. Or, well, okay, NOW. I'm done. Leaving. Any second now.

Hey thanks Cristof! Yeah, as flippant as I am in the post, part of me is scared that Steemit is gonna fuck up a lot of peoples lives. Kinda cool.

Mine, for instance. Seriously. Addiction is not too strong a word.

"Sure, I can put my phone down any time. Just let me read one more post. Okay, one more. Five more minutes, okay. Five more minutes". Lol

Dude. That's me. Two hours last night. Never even felt the time passing.

That's me. Every night since I found Steemit! Drives my girlfriend crazy. Every night! Lol.

Very funny 😂

LOVE this side of your wiring @condra
Also your writing.

Thanks dude. Might do a bit more of this satire shit. I've rinsed my photography portfolio dry. It's embarrassing.
