What did we all talk about before Steemit?

Even though Steemit just turned 2, sometimes it is hard to remember life before we could earn cryptocurrency for our content.

In this series I like to look at social media trends we wasted time on before Steemit.

Part II : https://steemit.com/steemit/@goldmatters/the-things-we-talked-about-before-steemit-part-ii

Now that Steemit is roaring, we would probably not spend time on these viral internet themes away from Steemit.

As @papa-pepper says: “Don’t WASTE your time online, invest in on steemit.com.”

Who remembers the Ice Bucket Challenge? This was a huge social media viral sensation in 2014 that involved every major celebrity. The objective was the raise awareness and generate donations for ALS - a super worthy cause . This actually doesn’t qualify as a waste of time since it promoted charity giving.

The basics were that you dumped a bucket of ice water on your head and challenged others to do the same with 24 hours.

Major celebrities got involved like Taylor Swift:

Even Mark Zuckerberg entered the Ice Bucket Challenge:

Unfortunately ET was not available. It is possible that ice does not exists on his planet, though I haven’t taken a deep dive into the phsyics.

Especially entertaining is that even Donald Trump participated in the challenge!

He didn’t seem concerned at all about dripping water on all his gold decorations in the Trump Tower.

So who wants me to start an ice bucket challenge here on Steemit?

Thanks for reading everyone!
