RE: AskSteemit #3: How did you stumble upon Steemit and what was your initial thought?

in #asksteemit7 years ago

That is a good thing to call it!

I can't use facebook like I used to because it is just to annoying. I used to upload what I was doing, where I went, picture of this and that and blah blah. After a few years of that it got kind of tiresome to feel like I needed to update hundreds of people about my life. Then I see how they are basically just using me as the product too, all these ads and auto-playing videos... ugh, for the love of god, no auto-playing videos on web pages!!! That drives me nuts.

I only use facebook for messages now and also to post to my facebook group using hashtags to direct people here and a few other places.

Sort:  

Yeah I didn't want to mention it. But after I learned how much Facebook is making by using our personal information, I kinda hated it more!!

Haha why not direct them all to Steemit ;)

Yes! Use their platforms to sign up your friends and others hehe. Twitter works pretty well for that too because of the hashtags are used more than on facebook. I get a few people every other day who click on the links I post on twitter about steemit so I hope they sign up!
