In order for steemit to be "taken over" by facebook, it would have to be agreed upon that the company could be sold to them.
On the other point, Fakebook is FAR too greedy to pay people for posting...
Steemit is as crazy an idea as America was in it's infancy. An open, democratic system where everyone has something to gain, and freedom is nearly boundless. Facebook is more like North Korea...
Very interesting example quoted ;)
@thatsweeneyguy I completely agree with you, that Facebook is greedy. BUT the thing is facebook need its users to STAY. Reason why it copied the story thing of snapchat, fearing that people might shift to snapchat from facebook. My point is if by paying a little Facebook can keep the user active, isn't it better than JUST BEING GREEDY and left with nothing!
