RE: Random Musings About Social Media, Community, Writing, and "Being Seen"
You touch upon the condition of the falser society that clashes with our inner unconditioned truer potential that automatically prefers truth and what is right to the falsity of how certain things are in our current condition. Good stuff ;)
We seek get attention, to be seen, but safely. A computer allows that barrier of safety while networking and expressing ourselves and drawing attention and giving back attention, as opposed to reality where the safety is variable depending on what is talked about and who is around.
I've only been seen a bit on Facebook, and more so on Steemit lol. I came to spread knowledge like I was doing on Facebook, I got more attention to the information, and I got rewarded in monetary tokens :)
As an armchair "trendwatcher" it's been really interesting to watch this develop vis-a-vis the web "aging."
Steemit has a very high "truth and essence content" compared to current social media... and I have to go back 12-15 years to find something similar. Currently have a piece in the works about it... ultra short version, though-- in the early days of the web unconditional truth and authenticity was more common online. That was also before the web was a "mass market" experience, as it is now... in fact, being able to afford a $2500 computer and paying for connectivity, probably meant you were from a higher, more sophisticated, more educated demographic.
What I am seeing on Steemit-- to some degree-- is similar; in order to grok cryptos and the rewards system and what it takes to create content here... you probably have to be a tad bit above average in various departments of intellect and insight. Hence the content is... more intelligent. And more authentic.
