I just found your post resteemed by @katerinaramm, it's 5.20 am here and I'm browsing Steemit for nearly an hour now, having watched the second video on Kate's cause. What a sad story.
I tend to turn to social media on nights where I lack sleep for different reasons. It's probably much easier to turn on a smartphone and read than a classic night desk lamp and read a book. The latter also is more prominent to others, I think.
Like others, my use of Facebook and Twitter has shifted towards Steemit, even though Facebook became less attractive for me before.
I'm without a mobile phone for months now having lost the last one. Thus, I can turn off Steemit for some time. Being unemployed, that might be important, I guess. I won't leave home otherwise at all, I suppose. Well, apart from appointments which are not optional.
Within the last year, I have made up my mind to some extent about the people in social media. I have a lot of Twitter contacts I never met in person. And I'm in a huge disagreement with some I once met in person about some stuff. I was fond of the contacts I had there for some time. But that has shifted to some extent. We're all just people with little extra packages we are dealing with, concurring views on things and so on. I value personal contacts much more now.
