Yeah, and the stories we tell on social media have to be geared towards engagement vs reality. What's going to get attention vs reality because when you present reality, and it's not rosy, people tend to ignore it. That leads to this nasty downward cycle that's hard to break, hehe :)

That is why I am so tired of regular social media. It is really boring to me. Steemit seems to be a bit more real...
Because it's still a community. It's how all social media started, before they turned into marketing platforms. It's the unfortunate evolutionary cycle of online community platforms. Hopefully Steemit will be able to hold it off for a good long time. But I've already seen contests that are promoting the spread of advertising, which in itself isn't bad, but it teaches a lot of bad habits to people who are on here for the wrong reasons.
