Yep you read that right. And this isn't in some www.iheartsteemit.com or www.steemitrocks.org website but one for investors, www.investorplace.com. In fact, the article starts with the opposite tone, that the Facebook stock is kicking ass and how people are bullish for it. But then it talks about steemit and how this site might put Facebook's dominance at risk. It talks about the value of rewarding people for their content and when people see a new dynamic, it might lead to a shift of what people use for their site of choice. The article has a fair tone and I recommend reading it.
I do not have a problem with Facebook but I strongly feel people should be paid for their content and this, hopefully, is the future model for social media. As sites like Tsu have shown, it is difficult to properly reward users with the old models but now with cryptocurrency, we have the technology to do it properly. Steemit also has the advantage of being built on top of a new tech and this is something older sites cannot change. You cannot take a centralized network and just decentralize it, you will have to start from the ground up.
Here is the article, which again, I recommend reading:

Get ready for mainstream! Or should we say... MainSteem....

I made the same pun before, go steem puns.
You all STEEM to be very excited about this! 😉
Good one!
... oh god. Lol
I'M SO EXCITED! Go Steemit!
Woot, I think it might make it.
I haven't barely posted on my facebook since joining Steemit and now have almost as many followers as Facebook friends lol
And this is the start.
Thank you for this information and link. I think its great info I just followed and resteemed it.
Full Steem Ahead :)
I just hope the 'culture war' doesn't go hot on Steemit, where there is actual resources on the line. @ironshield
If things don't change Facebook's days are numbered.
It seems to me like steemit really has such potencial:)
It really does.
People are always looking to create or find the next big thing or new social media platform. But when that platform comes with a way of rewarding you for your posts like Steemit....I never use facebook or other social media, but Steemit has got me interested. Revolutionary idea and technology, its definitely got the potential to replace all those others
I saw that article today too & I was like "Ya you suckas betta be scared!" Steemit rules.
meep
I don't post on facebook, just steemit.
Steemit Rocks! R.I.P. Facebook
We are going to make it happen. People get here, what they deserve.
I just wondering, is there any other website or platform working similarly like Steemit? I know there is one called YOYOW from China which just finished their ICO. Any else out there?
Golos in Russia
wow
I am not surprised , Facebook was becoming too much like other social media . Here's where the real winners are !
Wonderful that you found that article and thank you for sharing the link. I now post here on Steemit and promote my post on Facebook to get people to come onto this site.
Yes, Definitely! Heard about steemit yesterday and after spending some few minutes here, i had this same thought. Facebook's going down or lets just say, it's got a competitor.
