Very well said @taskmaster4450.
Steem has 2 advantages like you mentioned.
One, it is decentralized
(2) It doesn't really get to censor post and that's a great advantage.
You can see thousands of people getting into this platform on a daily basis, Hundreds of YouTubers dumping YouTube for D-tube
And besides, despite the deep in the crypto market, Steem has been able to maintain a steady and a stable outlook and I guess this level of balance is because of both the crypto and the social network.
Yes, Facebook is an already established platform. But before structures like DAT can just dive into a market as big as crypto, it would need a well mapped out plan and strategy to succeed and I guess Mark needs time to do that. And with that time of trying to fix and plan stuffs, I'm sure steemit should have been stable and would be a vibrant competitor.
Thanks for sharing such wisdom @taskmaster4450
