One of the reasons I joined Steemit was because I was tired of FB and it's clones taking what we posted and profiting from it while selling our personal information to the highest bidder.
I would look at something on online and the next minute I'd see targeted ads plugging that exact same thing. It's disturbing.
Steemit offers a way out of that. Sure there are scammers and spammers here but the majority of people I've met and interacted with are believers in a better way.

Steemit offers that. Yes post get met by crickets sometimes but at that just makes me want to do better. This is an amazing platform and ideal of what the future can look like. I am honoured to be a part of it.
