RE: Why FB Crushing STEEM Would Be Great For Humanity...And Why It Will Not Happen 👍

in #steem7 years ago

With the restrictions of FB and Youtube I think we are going to start seeing a lot more people here.

One rumor I could see happening is FB adopting some kind of crypto that could be used on the site, I think I heard litecoin was a maybe. But that wouldn't really change anything there.

I'm not sure how they could implement the features of blacokchain that people want, because those features are basically the antithesis of FB and youtube's profit based model

Sort:  

I certainly agree @jakeybrown that FB and YouTube, for now, are assisting STEEM. Their actions are driving people to seek out an alternative...and STEEM appears to fit that bill for many.

Will this continue is the question? I am sure both cannot help themselves since they are under pressure to perform for the Street. Also, at least in Zuckerberg's case, since he has voting control, everyone knows he calls the shots. I am sure he is tired of all the bad press and hammering he is taking about the elections and the fake news. His brand is being tarnished even if one doesnt believe any of the stories. It is in the media and the masses tend to believe what they are fed.
