RE: How Steem empowers entreprenuership
Insta and FB present more and more advertisement to the users these days. They are like the TV on the internet to push whatever content they want to the user. One can easily 'kill the time' by scrolling news feed brainlessly.
Steem, Medium, Quora now suit my reading need best.
I've been noticing my social media habits have been drifting more and more towards these sites.. and compared to 2 years back, my time on FB/insta/twitter have been significantly decreased.
I just somehow feel cheat that these social media are messing the way my brain works just to make themselves money.
I've been away from FB especially for 6 months starting the day I joined Steem. Went back to chekc out how thing is going on there, was greeted by tons of videos and ads.
And yes, the worst part is all we gain over there is the pointless likes.
One platform gets you addicted, another gets you addicted but also pays the bill. No brainer!
This surely is an eye opener of how we spend our time on facebook and other sites without any reward both financially and even intellectually. Steemit as you have said takes care of this, one gets to improve ones style of writing and ones intellectual capacities and cognitive ability. This(steemit) is a light in the dark
it is! And to expound your analogy, the Steem Blockchain is the bright field we see as light at the end of a dark tunnel.
Yea
That's true
