Your shots are stunning.
What you say is indeed true, I use platforms to document and really just store photos somewhere other than local storage which could get damaged. Just for prosperity sake. Future generations will have an easy task of looking up long gone relatives :-)
What I do think is that @steemit and @steepshot actually have a somewhat positive influence on humans, I think it has regenerated a keen interest in our surroundings, and even though we spend a lot of time in front of screens,
We actually do go out and enjoy our surrounding and pay closer attention to little details we may not have done before :-)
Happy snapping :-)
