Exactly.

Would you rather post an article on Facebook and gain the useless "like"s of your friends, or post one here and earn hundreds of dollars? This is the choice Steem gives people, one that wasn't there before.

What do you think people will choose? :)

I agree. If Facebook actually got my message out to all of the followers I have painstakingly built, that would be something. Unfortunately, I'm lucky if one sixth of the followers see my post on any given day. It's a reason why I'm here, testing the waters. There's a lot of potential here, if we all don't manage to blow it up :)
