RE: Walk and Think with me - My #ulog number 2: Why Steem has less worries than you think

in #ulog6 years ago
Peculiar, that you mention Facebook users perceiving "questionable content" on the Steem blockchain as a warning sign -- there is much more questionable content on Facebook than on Steemit, in my humble opinion. On Facebook, we were once constantly riddled with fake news. They even admitted to performing "social experiements" on a selected set of users, by showing them negative content to track whether they were becoming more depressed or suicidal, which is a horrific confession. Add to those things the barrage of ads — which initially only showed, acceptably, in the right sidebar, but then became peppered throughout the news feed, itself, in a more intrusive manner, along with all the "suggested pages" and you-might-know-these-people friend suggestions, and it just became too much.

I am much happier on the Steem blockchain than I ever was on Facebook and hardly ever go to that-blue-site now, but just occasionally to check for messages or such.

Loved your walk around the neighborhood! It is such a pretty place! The grass and flowers are so pretty, and I love those trees, too! Looks like a safe and wonderful place for a walk! Thanks for taking us along on this delightful adventure through your mind and your neighborhood! 😊

Sort:  

I am right there (here!) with you @thekittygirl! There is no accounting for some people's taste, and fear of the unknown seems to have some people looking back favorably at unfavorable circumstances.

I am happy you are happier, we are happier, can be happier without being hate-algo'd into increased interaction. I interact here with the biggest and the truest, the newest and the crudest, the spammers and the plagerists and everyone in between and, though not every conversation goes the way I think it should (or even works), I have had more real connection from around the world on Steem in 1 year than in 12 years on the rest of the internet, including 'that big blue site'.

Thank you for this message!
