What if "FACEBOOK" starts paying for "likes", "shares" & "advertisements"?
Think that what if FB gets its own crypto and starts giving tokens for likes and shares, and also for viewing adds?
What you guys think would happen to steem, which still majority of the population doesnt know about?
Mark has been known to steal ideas, and with the kind of power and money and followers he has, he wont take time taking over the crypto. Even though we know his cruel intensions, majority of the world population still follows him and looks up to him.
Some of his comments:
“A lot of us got into technology because we believe it can be a decentralizing force that puts more power in people’s hands.”
“I’m interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies, and how best to use them in our services”
“Facebook, with over 2 billion monthly active users, can basically drive the mass adoption of anything”
Even though Steem is built as social media platform and nothing gets deleted or remove, still majority here are for one thing, that's "Money".
Even though iv been on and off lately, but its been a really long time since iv been on steemit. I still see same topics making 100z of dollars, where as some really good content gets next to nothing views. Not here to put down anyone, i know alot of them are putting alot of effort in building this community, but this platform is following the same foot steps of FB.
Whales supporting Whales and their friends, Hot chicks posing and makes 100z, top trending posts are most of the times of programmers or famous youtubers especially alt. media, etc. Its just like FB supporting the elites. Steemit is not about proper wealth distrubution anymore.
Even though EOS is a bigger project then Steemit, did Dan Larimer leave steemit as he knows whats coming? When everyone here is for the money, and not good content creation, is it that once FB announces its own crypto, and starts giving money for likes shares and adds to the members, will steemit survive? Unless given a fair chance to everyone and blocking some similar post?
"Remember" all these Alternate media guys are still there on FB and YouTube, even though they say they hate it. Everyone including myself is here for making money (me as a side income and enjoy writing and reading).
I see people flagging good content and content thats really just a "Happy New Year" wishing gets 100s-1000z of $$ is really unfair. We have to pay bots to resteem and upvote in order to gain something. In chat when we talk about this issue, all we hear is "Oh, he/she is complaining" or "You need to develop your own audience" etc. How do we develovp our own audience when "Trending" & "New" Pages have only posts of programmers, or some chick just posing or crypto or some famous alternate media youtuber or crypto. The only few lucky ones are the people who joined steemit at the begining and have turned into whales now.
The best way to end this is to remove all the trending, new, hot, promoted catagories. Keep only the catagories that are on the left. Alot of people that way can get better views and a good distribution of wealth too. No flagging, no bots, no excessive power, as everyone here is giving something to the community, especially time.
Alot of them might be interested in different types of things, like music, art, pets, animals, movies, cooking, hobbies, history, etc. everyone should get a fair chance.
Trust me on this, if FB comes with this concept, most of the member will shift there regardless of the bans, as they will still make big bucks. But if given a fair chance to everyone, and helping build this community without any partiality, and some control on no good for nothing apps like just a photo or a link sharing, will make steemit bigger then any FB or INSTA or YouTube.
"Let's give everyone a fair chance, remember this is a blogging network and not social network. Lets make it really social and involve everyone, and make a stronger fair community"

it's not for good content only here in steemit, it's all about friends who support you, so the more you have friends, the more success you may have,
I doubt that facebook will becoming more decentralized, he said only that, but the more he will know decentralization, he will loss his power and leave only influence, which lesser than power he have now
True, but he is smart i mean the elites are smart. They will use him in a right way. Well we all know he wont decentralize for sure, but its very much possible he pays for likes in tokens. As we all know about the "Brave Browser", the concept is fantastic. the amount of members he has is really crazy. still majority are not interested in crypto and donot understand blockchain. He has a crazy audience. Recently in my past blog i mentioned that India's richest man is now getting his own crypto. The elites want to get into it and control this too. Currently its just fearmongering going on by them for crypto investers. Majority still look up to Mark, so i guess he has a crazy influence on people. Just try telling the truth about FB, and you will be laughed at.
As if investing in steemit, we all are investing time. I love the concept, thats why im here. its just that many of the real good posts are completely ignored and some get upvotes with almost zero content. and some similar posts keep getting upvotes, coz of certian points that i mentioned above.
The renewing part from steemit was for me, the fact that I could blog, that I just could press my stories, ideas, pictures and so on even just a sentence like omg finally time for a cup of coffee. At fb, friends said to me, you are so much on here have you not got a job? I used it like my personal diary and was happy people around me were visible. Facebook is mainly for friends and family and people I know out of groups for my personal interest. On steemit, far out the most people I follow are people I do not know, it is renewing, new angles to look at certain things. Like the big group of homesteaders and like it belongs to the same groups the homeschoolers! What an eye-opener! As well negative as positive. So when fb would give coins, i would write more on fb, but I would also write and read here. That makes steemit for me a social media group and not just to blog. Money wise I would be a nice gesture from steemit whales to give some more attention, bigger votes and also just replies would be nice, but we can never obligate them to do so, it would keep us more loyal though, and also for the non-steemers it would show there is more to get on steemit. Making it more interesting maybe. I still will write on both...
hmm. i guess the best thing steemit shoud do is remove the trending/hot/promoted page. that way you only search for catagory and post one would like to see, comment and like. Trending posts have mostly been of the same catagory.
I do not think it is the same catagory ! :-o
facebook will have to do so in upcoming days, otherwise, they have to close their shatter (door)
FB is too powerful as there are governments backing it. donot underestimate its power. Steemit need some sort of changes before FB introduces its own crypto.
ya, you're right, Steemit have to kick out the ball before FB do so.
But
those governments
(whos baking F B)will ban Facebook, just wait and see.
