Thank you so much for this information; the fact that Bloomberg did an article on Steemit is huge! I've been off FB for some time, mostly due to its' negativity, but also to the privacy issues I have with it. I can't believe that there was 41 billion in revenue for them last year! It's nice to be on a platform where the revenue goes in the opposite direction for sure.
I really like Palurintano's comment, There are still many many technical issues, community-splitting conflicts, and a very steep learning curve...What can each of us do to make STEEM the best it can be?”
I am a part of @newbieresteemday, which was started by @davemccoy and @mudcat36, which began as a resteem initiative (obviously:), but morphed into a welcoming, supporting, and educating/mentoring community to help new and not-so-new folks with "the steep learning curve" here. The hope is that by building and creating a stronger younger foundation, they will in turn grow to do the same for other new people who join. Some of us have also created a @friendsofgondor curation trail to help with the "community-splitting conflicts". The "technical issues" are way out of my league however:)
Thank you again for your post @careywedler! Cheers :)
Then it's surprising you'd come to Steem, where literally every write action one takes on the site is public to the entire world. There is no privacy whatsoever here.
hahaha fair enough! Allow me to clarify @sneak ...on steemit I know everything is public and I'm ok with that; I joined with full disclosure. It's the more insidious nature of the privacy issues on FB that I wasn't so crazy about.
Good catch though!
