Steemit is the ultimate Net Neutrality defender! Instead of paying for filtered and pre-curated internet data, YOU ARE PAID for your blog and wonderful memes!
The Blockchain technology has been hitting all cylinders towards the improvement of the digital world as we know it. Originally intended as a tool for the rise of digital money or cryptocurrency, its underlying potential as a technological phenomena has paved the way towards a variety of application other than its original purpose as digital money. With the rise of smart contracts, decentralized applications, decentralized information and other application, the purpose of blockchain has been slowly adopted and accepted within the digital community. In fact , you are currently using one of the most amazing adoption of this technology.
Steemit is a decentralized social media platform which aims to apply the blockchain technology and provide rewards to contributors of its community. Think of it as "Reddit with money". And with the current rise of issues of disrupting net neutrality and filtering out internet data through providing precurated news content, the use of Steemit has never been more impactful to advancement of social media.
First of all, for those of you who missed out on the net neutrality fiasco late last year think of it this way - You will only access data of what this so-called ineternet regulators have already served out for you. While this may sound making the internet a safe place for verified content it provides a lot of disadvantages for folks who have been using the internet free to get data and information they want. The FCC even threatened to allow paid subscription in order to enjoy this pre-curated services. The internet and free speech will never be the same if net neutrality is disrupted.
Then comes Steemit.
This platform has been trending all over the place with redditors, youtubers, quorans all moving to Steemit taking part of the community. Instead of paying for content, the platform provides incentive and rewards to all who contribute.
This is the ultimate killer for that idea of disrupting net neutrality as the all uploaded content is being rewarded by the community and not the advertisers who are only supporting content that along their narrative.
A support for Steemit is a support for the continuity of net neutrality and the advancement of the social media.
Everyone should not pay just to get daily dose of your wonderful memes.
