I really think Steemit has big chances to become pretty influencial among the other social media platforms - however the purpose of these platforms are different.
For example, I use Facebook to connect with friends or people I've just met. I want to stay updated (briefly) with their whereabouts or any cool things they are sharing -- however catvideos really are taking it's toll.
When it comes to Steemit, I want to share my experiences more in detail. I put effort on my posts on purpose wheras on Facebook I put useless information as: Shannon is travelling to Lisbon from Berlin. Not so much useful for Steemit, but definitely something that is nice to have on Facebook.
Hey! I love cat videos :P ahahaha!!!
That is true, but wouldn't like being surrounded by quality, original content also on facebook and stop looking at posts repeating themselves and being super boring?
And yeah, I do the same on Facebook who am I kidding and who am I to judge but I would still love to see it burn and get into a new, less effortless social media Era! :D
Agree on the different purposes - certainly. The thing is though to see what happens if it grows more and how the initial purposes might shift... -if-...
