RE: Why Traditional Social Media Like Facebook Cannot Compete With STEEM

in #steem7 years ago

Honestly, I personally don't think Steem will dethrone Facebook. They're just different.... Facebook events are so incredibly useful and Messenger is amazing... I'll continue to use Facebook to communicate with family and friends... but I won't spend time browsing it like I once used to.

I totally agree. In these kind of applications it is even FB's advantage that content can be removed.

Yes, at the moment I agree, There's nothing on the STEEM blockchain which is trying to take on Facebook yet though. I'm sure somebody will try to develop something, even if its across a few apps (i..e one for instant messenger, one for timeline posts/connections) - and Appics is coming soon to challenge Instagram.

In the longterm, blockchain is clearly better solution than a central website, so Facebook and the like will at least have to adapt. It's just a question of how they do it, and whether there's anything else available (STEEM or elsewhere) which will blow them out of the water. Too early to tell with any of the current STEEM apps IMO.
