I just spent ten minutes on FB to catch up wit my folks over there... And I legit got sad every single time I liked something... It just seems so meaningless when I click the like button and no reward appears beside it. I mean... What's the point of it all? If you don't get to give your people monies when you like their stuff it's just like... Worthless. Anyways, I'm done with that now. I'm back here handing out pennies with each vote!
Very true.... Seems like such a waste!
This is the reason that more and more people switching to Steemit now, many people from Hong Kong, just like me, are joining the Steemit community
haha that's why we are all here
Same here ,before i was crazy facebook and instagram fan ,but now, these sites aint interesting anymore.
The point of facebook now is too much advertising but too less useful information. I think they should have a engine on filtering what information would be interested by the user but not simply by the money they received
Facebook is weak and I am now spending most of the time in steemit
Steem gonna make revolution on social networking
my FB is full of irrelevant information and I find it hard to unlike everything. It just keeps accumulating!
Yaaa that's so true :( maybe FB is popular just because many ppl around us are using it... anyway many ppl are finding Steemit useful now haha! Hope this platform can be as popular as FB one day!
Haha @mattie.b-leaver. Facebook had that whole thing all figured out all this time, now we're finally onto them and have started to jump ship for Steemit.
I only go on facebook to do ad work for my client. Wouldn't be surprised if facebook copies the steemit model someday down the road.
Hahaha, I had just done this EXACT thing, when I saw your post. Well played.
I seriously wondered why I was not getting that thrill from liking things... Like "why am I sad, that's a good meme, I should be happy?" And then it hit me...
No rewards for good meme creators=no happy.
Been there!
This post made me burst out laughing it's so true.
Thats quite true
So awesome and true! FB feels pretty weak after spending time on Steemit. I've got to figure out my voting here though, looks like I've run out of pennies to give. Solid appreciation for a great post!!
Yeah, I'm the same... Sometimes my votes are worth like eleven cents, but other times they're worth .000nuthin.
i'm with ya 100%!
I sadly agree. What also doesn't help is who actually cares or feels satisfy when they see that you liked their picture or status? Who honestly gets on Facebook to socialize? It's a drama infested site. So much for social media. Haha. I'm glad you're here to stay! ^_^
You and me both! FB is just an empty shell where my family lives now... The only reason I have to go on there is to convince them to come here!
Agreed! I'm only on Facebook to roughly keep connected with long time friends and family. Aside from that gain nothing from it. :P
I agree. I even made business cards for my page. https://steemit.com/business/@vandalizmrecordz/steemit-business-cards-201763t235518900z
I went cold turkey on FaceBook..
after a decade or more of being on it EVERY DAY...for hours and hours.
I just left.
Havn't been on it in weeks.
Yeah, I think I've opened it up maybe twice in the last two weeks. It just feels hollow and empty now.
in the last two minutes I've made $2 in Steem Dollars...
or 'about' $4 in USD
when I get 'about' 10 or $20 Steem Dollars.
I transfer them to Bittrex...sell them for bitcoin.
then sit back and watch their value increase.
How can FaceBook compete?
That's the thing, it can't. I have deposited $100 dollars in the past three days (big camping trip Friday, so needed extra loot otherwise I'd have left it in Bitcoin or steem...) And all I did was past the same stuff I would have posted to Facebook... In fact I did post almost all my post to Facebook too via steem... But even more importantly, I love watching your rewards go up when I click the vote. That feels really good. FB can never match that feeling no matter how many different "reacts" they offer.
yup
what a RUSH
If fb offered THAT kind of react ^^^ it might be different...
FB is dead to me.
I'm building my OWN clan here..
I have a thousand followers..some listen to me rant and vote.
I have a couple of dozen people that I follow..
we're becoming good friends..
like you.
hi...i'm a grouchy old curmudgeon...
how are yOU?
Yay pennies!
Or fractions of pennies...
I am here too....I note like Facebook..or Instagram
I hate Facebook as there are many people so call friend but already are not friend any more.
So true, It makes it hard to spend any time there. We just need our friends to switch to Steemit!
Mass Facebook Exodus now!
