One of the biggest reasons I joined steemit was to be more productive than I was on Facebook. I spend way more time here than I ever did there, but at least now I feel good about it. I feel like I'm supporting someone (with comments at least) or building my reputation and actually writing. It's neat. And I get ridiculously excited when something I post makes even twenty cents.
No really, I do. Not cause I'm hard up for twenty cents, but because I adore the fact that someone looked what I wrote well enough to upvote it.
