Steem is perceived as a threat to the business model of Twitter and FB who have clearly gotten used to dominating social media. Anytime something comes along to challenge their business model it gets attacked or bought out. In the case of Steem, we saw a huge reduction in the value right as it was gaining momentum. The real story, I can intuit, will be in how high frequency trading algorithms and bot trading are beginning to influence Crypto based businesses similar to the methods used on Wall Street Stock exchanges. It's probably not a coincidence that the value was brought up so quick then tanked afterwards. That would be a good way to discourage users. But I digress, the point is, you Luke, are back on Steem and it's good to see you here again. Since Steem offers the option to share on FB and Twitter, maybe we should just try to originate our material here and then repost via the sharing option to the larger social media companies like FB/Twitter. That would draw more users in because they would need to come to Steem to view the content and Steem is promoted via the link, thus encouraging more users while losing no one else in the process. As long as you always repost to them and redirect the traffic here, it benefits all. Thanks for all you do. Be well.
