With Facebook, YouTube, Google, and Twitter facing complaints and investigations for issues, such as, censorship, selling data, invasion of privacy and booting people from their platforms; we must look to other platforms. Is Steemit the social media platform for the future?

I am new to Steemit! Very new in fact. I have few followers and have make pennies. This can be an effective platform! The user is being paid for content! Cryptocurrency, which I am also very new to, is the payment. Steemit, and platform associated like D-Tube are building a model like Google in connectivity, and respecting the user, in a way we have not been before. People seem to be waking to the problems of the giants. #DeleteFacebook has been traveling all over Twitter.

We the People are tired. Tired of seeing the game rigged for us, the user, the citizen, the person. We have seen this from government, main stream media and the tech giants. The hope for Steemit is that they would learn from the fall of the giants and see another path. It appears that they do!

As a new user, the platform is harder to learn and understand. That difficultly will keep older users, like myself, from remaining on the platform. But this is a growth process. Steemit and those creating the platform, seem to be open and sharing often! Their information is good.

The hope is that Steemit will be successful and take the market share from the tech giants that have been abusing their power. The idea of getting paid for your contact is amazing. This makes the people media. The MSM has failed at keeping people informed and now they can share their own information. The fact that people have the ability to learn from one and other makes Steemit the platform on the horizon.
