Hey, one of my newsletter readers suggested I started to use Steemit as a substitute for Facebook. It all started because I was bashing Facebook in this week's edition. I agree with you on your criticism, but think it can be extended further to accommodate things like design for addiction and fomo. Over the next days I'll try to explore Steemit more active. Honestly, when the reader first suggested me to come here for social interaction I was surprised. I had only given Steemit a quick look, and while I was intrigued, I never really got started. Maybe something can still be copied from the good old exploitation world of Facebook :D
