RE: Why We Will Support Short Form Posts (Co-Authored By @liberosist)

in #steemit8 years ago

I think what will keep many people from dropping Facebook and using Steemit is that they can no longer get by with little posts like "Went to the grocery store and spent $300..."
They will actually have to be creative and use their brain. That would deter millions of people.
The fact that Steemit thrives on intelligent, creative, and original material is great, but also somewhat of a curse, because we "Steemians" are becoming somewhat of an elite group. We know better than to post useless crap about our lives that most FB users get away with. Plus, each of our posts needs to be accompanied by a corresponding photo, which adds a challenge. Some posts stand alone on their own without a photo. So thinking of what photo to add that can compliment a simple post is a challenge.
So I don't think Steemit will ever experience nearly as much popularity as FB. Just my thought on the matter.
