Good points. I see what you're saying - but wouldn't it be great if STEEM forced other social media platforms to stop hoarding the money they make?

Oh of course it would, I think the current business models of these larger companies are at the core of the problem that has never had a solution until now. I mean, how else does a company offer a free service that requires thousands of employees, millions of servers, and the cost that goes along with it if not for advertising? If facebook came out with a blockchain technology and pushed it out, nobody would trust it at this point anyway. @dan and @ned along with the other developers and early adopters stand to make and have made a lot of money already off this platform because they had the foresight to see the flaw in facebook.
I am excited to see where this project goes, but it doesn't make me want to completely "leave" facebook. I cannot directly talk with, chat with, and easily see what my close friends and family members are up to on here. (yet?)
Awesome reply. I stand with you on this one :)
