Howdy today sir nickyhavey! I agree of course, about the rep score. I'm trying to build my account up, that's why I'm using ocdb occasionally, to build my sp, not boost my rep score, that just happens to come with it.
Yes I think Steemit will keep trucking along no matter what MEOS does. Sense of community and bloggers is what I think will keep people here. They're getting ready to get communities started and the advertising is making them money, they reduced the cost of running steemit from 220K per month to about 10K and that's even dropping so it's looking much more like a sustainable business model.
I doubt if facebook will pull any steemians away, I don't know of any steemians who don't hate facebook!
