RE: Let's Talk—Why Is Facebook Treating Steemit URLs as Spam? (UPDATE: It's Deleting My Post In 30 Days Now!)

in #steemit7 years ago

They might have found out the true potential of steemit, maybe that's why they are trying to show people steemit is a scam.
This may be their strategy to take out any other platform that can take their place as they want to keep the social media leaders crown.

Sort:  

I know Reddit doesn't like Steemit links either, it will only slow the change and not stop it however. "Don't post anything for free" will resonate within people all over the world.

Sure it will resonate, steemit has taught me and everyone else a very beautiful thought, "Our opinion matters".

The next two years will be really interesting to follow.

Sure it would be.

What kind of reaction do you think will come from Facebook, Twitter etc. if Steemit really starts to gain traction?

Facebook Reward points?

OK interesting.

Now Facebook might end up buying Steemit as they did it with Instagram.

hahah they ccant buy steemitthats like facebook "Buying" biitcoin lol go ahead and buy as many bitcoins as u want lol facebook can buy as much steempower as they want LOL driving proce up making us all rich, and we could just all flag them whenthey try posting here LOL also wtnesses here ahve control over the blockchaina nd we can hodla vote and all MUTE facebooks account etc so many possiiities for revenge hahah wjust kidding but im sseriousy aoout how faceook CANT buy steemit LOL

The only way they can buy steemit is buying all the steem tokens which will drive the steem price very high..And even then there will be people who will not sell their sp or steem for that high price because its worth more than what fb can offer..

Loved this idea.

I don't think so people of this community would be interested in being operated by zuckerberg.

would that be a good or a bad thing ?

It would be a bad thing, as Facebook work hand in glove with the CIA who are known for targeting individuals with harassment based on the intel they gather about the person of interest. Believe me, you don’t want that kind of attention.

thanks for the insight ghost, but could you explain how this may or may not happen to steemit as well? Wouldn't the CIA be able to penetrate this platform just like FB?

If facebook buys steemit.com to hide content and control narrative people would just move to busy.org or any other site using the steem blockchain.
I don't think facebook is interested at all to buy steemit.com which is why they are censoring steemit link.

That would not be anything because that would not happen in any case.

I've had that thought for a while now. It's very possible FB purchases Steemit.

Or maybe Steemit will buy Facebook sooner or later :) (I mean we all)

We've been dealing with this type of thing from Facebook for years. We need to support sites like Steemit and onG.social (onGcoin.io) who are giving back to the communities that provide the value and get off of these crntralized data collection sites that are sifting and selling all of our data without our consent!

How does ongcoin work?

I can only say that steemit is providing me something, don't know anything about the other one so can't say what it provides.

But steemit can't replace facebook. I don't understand why that comparison always comes up. They're completely different things. Facebook is, well, facebook. Social media. It's all about profiles, communicating, (re)connecting, networking, and self marketing/ego boosts, etc.. Steemit is more of a blogging platform. It doesn't even have direct messages (as far as I can tell). I'd say it's a competitor to medium for example, or maaaybe reddit, not facebook.

I don't use facebook by the way. It has no appeal to me. I'm not defending it or calling it better than steem. Just saying they're different things and not in competition with each other.

I agree. I use both steemit and Facebook, but I would never use steemit the way I use Facebook. Facebook is more spontaneous and low level, while I want to post more valuable content on steemit.
