RE: What may lead to Mass adoption on Steemit
I believe that one of the main obstacles to the final death of centralized media owned by those who believe we are their cattle is due to a herd mentality. Fakebook is a good example of this. I cut the cord from them some time back, and despite all the grumbling I hear from relatives and peers they can't cut that cord. They want the connection that Fakebook offers, they claim. As though before Fakebook we were all severed or something.
You see the mentality with most things against what the farmers approve.
Vaccinations
Home schooling
Political party structures
The proclamations that there are more than two genders and that it is a fluid situation despite the obvious biology.
This list could go on, but the final nail about the herd mentality is the way those in power treat us with disdain and you will see so many defend it as though it is their right to treat us in such a way.
