Recently Bill posted a series of tweets, here they are...
Here was my response...
People are simply fed up with Facebook..!!
These are not my feelings, these are the feelings of the +500 students I have spoken to recently while handing out flyers for STEEMIT.
Ask anyone in their earlier 20's how they really feel about Facebook and you may find their response shocking.
These last few weeks have been a wake-up call for me and one that if I was involved in Facebook would be extremely worried by.
People are simply fed up with being manipulated, dictated to, conditioned and bullied, and it this that should be setting off alarm bells ringing in existing Corporate Social Media Companies.
Some will say that most people accept this manipulated and conditioned environment, but it is this very same manipulated and conditioned environment that is actually telling them to accept it..!!
Step out of this environment and the reality is very different.
Facebook has dominated Social Media in the last 13 years simply because there was no real alternative, but it is the alternatives that are now showing signs of green-shoots as they come alive..!!
I will be happy to go back to Bill Mitchell and share with him this Blog later.
Feel free to leave any comments below for Bill to see.
Thanks for reading.

Very cool!
Thank you and thanks for your support. Stephen
Very true People are really fed up with Facebook.. we have now alternative in the form of Steemit, where we can express our thoughts with more freedom and at the same time earn some monetary rewards for quality content... what more we could ask for...
I could not have said it any better myself. Thanks for the support. Stephen
Stephen, your relentless efforts are inspiring and much appreciated!
You are very welcome. It makes it 1,000,000 times easier when I get the support like this. Thank you for your continued support. Stephen
yeap... deleted my FB a while ago... life's better without!
I could not agree more. I stopped using Facebook ages ago when I found out who the real owners were..!! Stephen
agree, #dumpfb , left months ago, better without.
That's a great shout, when we see frustrated users of other mediums, opening the door for them onto steemit should be first on the to do list!
"....opening the door for them onto steemit should be first on the to do list!"
"....opening the door for them onto steemit should be first on the to do list!"
"....opening the door for them onto steemit should be first on the to do list!"
....now and again you need to repeat something a few times when it is so TRUE..!! Thanks for your support. Stephen
Thanks! Mantras work wonders as we shall see!
Completely agree. Even though the user numbers are as of yet in a different league it is just a question of time.
Already you see facebook mentioning "you haven't posted something for xx weeks" which to me is a clear sign that they have started losing traction already.
I could not agree more, it's just a matter of time. The game is RIGGED and people are finally waking up to REALITY. Thank you for your continued support. Stephen
Hahahaha xD I see how facebook gets bombarded with restrictions and ads thees days. Its a good platform for a social network on a personal scale, but when you try to make it in a money making machine it will end up in the rubbish bin.
Thia is where steemit kicks in with a great balance.
Love your work mate!
Likewise Jason. I am a huge fan of your work. Keep up the great work and thanks for the support. Stephen
This is the new ERA! Go Steem!
People are finally waking up to the conditioned, manipulated and dictated world. "This is a new ERA!" ....SO TRUE. Stephen
It will take years to shift to it and adjust, but it's good to be early than too late!
I honestly never had a facebook account, as i do not believe in it. And even though I never had an account, I think facebook does know a lot about me. I am affraid if I create an account that facebook allready knows who my friends are, what I like to do etc etc. No privacy at all.
It was one of the reasons I am here.
Facebook has become too greedy like most corporations and with that customer service flies out the window.
This is good!!!
Nice job Stephen, can always trust you to fly the flag for Steemit
Facebook has no gratitude to his users, now everything is just about profit.
Been loving how much you post! <3
