thanks for this analysis. i'll look into minds.com as that seems to be the one with the highest (behind steem) alexa rating. i think you're right around FEELING being something that attracts and keeps people and also friends and family network and that this space if too "active" and requires too much that facebook just doesn't require. it's one of the problems with humanity i think actually (the passive consumption) and when i returned to facebook the other day it was riddled with engaging videos and memes but no one was creating... or really engaging... just memes and blurbs. i don't want humanity to devolve into that. maybe someone will make a front end more like facebook or a more passive social media site on steem blockchain.
