Sucked in, Facebook. They've been at the top for way too long and rarely listen to their users nor implement positive changes. Their recent privacy adverts are a poor excuse for an apology.
I use Messenger still but rarely log into Facebook itself anymore. I changed all my information, too. Its probably too late but oh well.
I've come to Steemit for less of the crap and real content. I don't like the 'memes' that people post on here and don't think its right for them to make money off of a re-posted image. Steemit could be a valid competitor if they aim to attract occasional users. The platform doesn't compare for auntie Molly who likes keeping up with her family and posting pictures of her poodle once a week.
I'm losing hope that steemit is going anywhere. I've not seen any changes since I joined. I think if it positions its self to compete with reddit it could stand a chance
