I totally agree with you on what Social Media is - the people and the interaction with them. Unfortunately, the Facebook "like" button has become too easy to do and has stopped a lot of engagement. We started out on Facebook and have noticed we rarely get engagement, but everyone pushes the "like" button. Forget the fact that the post was actually one of our videos on YouTube that only had three views when there were 230 likes on the post link and no conversation! It is frustrating.

That is when we found Steem. This community is uber engaging and super encouraging. We now do not have as much interaction with Facebook or YouTube. It's a shame really because hardly anyone on the FB page has noticed our lack of activity either on the personal page or the travel page. Sad, so very, very sad.

Great post and I do love the photos you chose to go with your words. Thanks, it was a pleasure to read.
