At this point of life (age), if something does Steemit is to potentize life. In the times of hi5, myspace, icq, even msn chat or any other chat it was crazy to think of traveling to meet someone, although I know people who did it. And it was a big deal, a life changing experience in many cases for the purpose of getting married.
Now you can make it very casual. Just to meet one friend you've talking to and after that you just move on. Also with a little help of the earnings you're making here.
So real life now covers both.
msn .... yet another blast from the past haha !
That I only had it to talk with my friends - never met new people there, but I bet some people did!
And yes, that social media conclusion [marriage or relationships in general] always happened and always will happen since the digital era begun ;)
Yup, I totally agree that somehow now it all blends ;)
