Is it time to start planning for your future?
Sure, that omnipresent social media platform your using right now may seem like it will never let you down, but did you know it may
- Collect your personal information.
- Collect highly revealing metadata about your browsing habits.
- Sell that information to a gang of international ne'er-do-wells.
- Filter content based on their desire to control the narrative.
- Lie to you about how your data is being used.
- And, most heinously of all, not paying you for it.
The next phase of your social media life may seem lightyears away, but it's coming at you fast, and you'll want to be ready when it arrives.
Have you considered Steemit?
Steemit is a new kind of social media network. It pays you for posting.
And now that Facebook is under fire and YouTube is demonetizing members, we all have to ask ourselves,
"Why not make Steemit the dominant social media platform?"
Striking While the Iron's Hot
Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have grown weak. Years of ease and unbridled authority have made them soft. And only now are people starting to turn on them.
Should we give them the time to hedge up all the chinks in their armor? Give them time to stall for another decade or two?
Or should we strike now?
Using Bitcoin as an Example
Steemit has its problems.
The interface is not comparable to those found on more popular social media sites. The smartphone integration is less than ideal. And too many people in the community don't seem to think these are worth worrying over.
But all those things can be dealt with in time. If Steemit is going to take advantage of the current fell tide against the other social networks, then it really only needs one thing:
Publicity.
The outside world simply is not talking enough about Steemit. Having a fantastic new technology does no good if people don't know it exists. And publicizing strange new tech can lead to greater adoption.
Need an example? Look no further than Bitcoin.
Bitcoin isn't always celebrated, but it is always, ALWAYS being talked about.
And all that talking is responsible for how far it has come. Even the people who decry it are only helping it along.
And we need the same thing to happen to Steemit.
Steemit must be brought up more on podcasts, YouTube channels, talk shows, news casts, book clubs, and any other venue we can find for it. And it needs to happen now, while people are still griping about how terrible Facebook is.
We may not get another chance like this. People will forget Facebook's and YouTube's transgressions with time, but if they have already moved to the Steemit system before that forgiveness can set in, we can seize a significant market share.
As for how we can make that happen, we'll likely need to stir up some kind of controversy. Bitcoin's previous reputation of being the go-to currency of online pirates and drug dealers helped to secure its legacy as much as anything. We need a Steemit scandal---something that will make national news in the U.S., at the barest minimum.
Getting this to happen organically is quite the task, certainly, but I believe we can do it, if we put our heads together. We've got some smart people on this platform. With a little teamwork, it should be doable.
For now, I'll just leave this space open to suggestions. Thank you for your participation.
@talanhorne,
That would be a nice review! Yeah STEEMIT has it's own problems! Few days back I also talk this briefly! UI of STEEMIT is not good enough to compete with FB or others! But did you notice DTube is the most trending video streaming platform at this moment!
If STEEM INC consider these positive and negative feedback I think they might pass GOOGLE INC market cap in next 2 years of time!
Great work friend!
Cheers~
You're a good knowledge person about writing and it's very difficult.
Your job is excellent topic.
Thanks @talanhorne
Have a nice day
It is 100% true, Steemit is a new kind of social media network. It pays you for posting.
Congratulations @talanhorne

agree with you bro @talanhorne in future the steemit will be better instead of other social media platform. best wishes always
You are absolutely right.
I choose steemit. Seriously who would trust Facebook after what happened. But we are stuck on Facebook as all the contacts are on Facebook. Anyways I think steemit is the best social media platform that pays you for blogging and stuff. I love steemit and we should not be worrying about the interface because it will get better with time just like other platforms. I vote for steemit
You have a great point. All I can add is quit Facebook and come here to our family.
When it comes to bitcoin and othe currency, many ofmyfriens keep saying it’s a ponzi scheeme. They laugh at me. I only say “we will see”.
This is so cool! I think quality should be a value of its own. It carries a lot of weight to success and also building the following base is more about quantity in my opinion. Quality is the foundation for a strong following base.
I’m glad I have never used Facewhat, not even opened an account. It was obvi They sold their users data without anyone’s permission and even lying to its clients. I hope every one of them quit and comes to join us at steemit.
I too support steemit instead of other social media platforms, steemit helps us to make easy money while other platforms aren't. So we should all go for steemit instead of all other social media platforms
Hey @talanhorne cryptos and steemit are the best.
best regards 0/
I totally agree with you, hit the iron while it is hot.This is worth it, publicity of this platform should be done since everyone will at least come to know about this, it will lead its own path.
Time to close my Facebook account
Great writing experience. its really blog

steemit is one of the number one apps in the world today. People have left Facebook and turned to steemit, because now they are aware that Facebook is just giving them tired. while steemit rewards quality posts. # deletefacebook and # joinsteemit.saya very happy with your post @ talanhorne.
Right, it'd certainly be an interesting shift if dominant social media companies could pay those producing the network effect that makes their platforms so successful. Steemit is certainly moving in the right direction. The idea of that flipped business model (with users getting paid for their data) is so unheard of that most might not even be aware that alternatives exist.
I never used or no hoping to use fb or twitter. Fortunately I sign up steemit and now I'm very happy working with steemit. Valuable writing article @talanhorne.
I am agree. STEEMIT is the platform now days.
IT will get better and better
cheers \o/
steemit and the decentralised is the only way to go now for people as the centralised one seems they can do anything with dictatorship
Steemit is a big platform and it’s a smart network...I choose steemit...I totally agree with you and thank you so much for sharing this great post ...
While I agree to the points it sure can replace all the other social medias and the issues that are here like you said will sure be taken care of with time .
While I am indeed pretty visionary person along with other steemians that believe that Steemit is going to be huge in the coming days !
Every time, every where I choose steemit platform. Its giving brightness future to us. I think your opinions be valuable for every steemians. Thanks for letter.
İt is wonderful..png)
Excellent write up! I’m ready for it! The best part of being at the frontline of any social media platform is that you can get ahead by networking early on and not having to filter through too much junk because there are millions of users who create a lot of noise. Steemit is only a baby in this business and opportunities are awesome!
Actually very interesting article about our massive media platform. Better publication @talanhorne. Well said and right. Steemians have great future.

Wow! I commend your vision and energy. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and I know you will do an outstanding job spreading the word. I'm glad to have this conversation recorded forever on the block chain, so in 5 years after you are famous, I can prove to people that "I knew him when..."!
Heh, heh, well...maybe.
Thanks for your optimistic outlook.
Golden words, my friend, all popular social networks made the main mistake, they distanced themselves from their members and pursued only their goals. Steemit just the opposite, gives people the opportunity to express themselves and get a reward for it, this great idea unites all of us and I believe that we must make every effort to populate the Steemit and success is guaranteed to us! Thank you @talanhorne
steemit is a great social media, in steemit also we can tie silaturrahmi rope between fellow
@talanhorne, I totally agree with your suggestions as you mentioned here. Definitely steem blockchain currently biggest media platform and in future gain more and more. Cryptocurrency most popular via blockchain. Also we want to accept is has some issues. But it's can fix.
Exactly I accept above point. So another all try to ban steemit coz its popular condition.
Good writing you just shared.Writing is very hard.
For your post propagation.

Power of Publicity, you understood that power & hope Steemit developers'll read this post. Excellent writing & topic dicsussed.
I'd like to learn more about SteemConnect. I've been lobbying for options to use one's Steem account to authenticate to other services for quite a while now, but so far no one else seems to have shown much interest.
my dear you have excellent knowledge about streem and you are great writer .
I think steemit is so amazing. It help people in many ways.
Lets wait and see
although many other applications are out there, but steemit remains my choice. because steemit does not deliver promise, steemit therapy provides real evidence. the stem can change a person's social life, but Facebook can not. I contributed years to Facebook but I did not get anything. Whatever I do, I campaign to always join steemit.
hopefully social media can bring the world to a better direction
I'm sure steemit can have a good impact on me.
steemit is really great social media sir,,,i appreciate your post thanks a lot for post,,,its really awesome site ,,i like ie
