On Steemit - I get paid to post, comment and share. On Facebook, I don't

On Steemit - My # of followers grew almost 10% in one day. On Facebook, more than 99.9% less people interact with my posts than in 2015.

On Steemit - I see new content in my feed all the time. On Facebook I don't

On Steemit - all my followers see my posts in their feed. On Facebook, they don't

On Steemit - I can add links to my posts and people will still see my posts. On Facebook, they don't

On Steemit - I see all the posts from pages/people I follow. All the motivational speakers, comedy, art, photographers and musicians. On Facebook, I don't

On Steemit, I have lots of motivation to create positive uplifting content and interact with people - on Facebook, I don't.

Good points. I think there is room for both FB and Steemit in the market. There will always be things that FB does better, but Steemit will always be my favorite.

Facebook has one thing it does way better than Steemit - frustrate the crap out of me! The other day an important message from my own Dad - who I AM friends with on FB, and DO follow and have marked as my Dad in the family section, - was put into my filtered inbox, so I didn't get a notification about it. I only saw it 2 days later. In the meantime, my Dad thinks I'm purposely ignoring him, because he sees me online. That was the final straw for me, I hate Facebook.

But Still Facebook has a major effect , simply i didn't know that you are on steemit untill you shared this post on Facebook so yeah has pros and cons .

On Steemit you are not targeted by advertisements that know what emotional buttons to press to get you to believe or buy something. https://steemit.com/dtube/@bardionson/ukemp4am

The power they have to spread false information by microtargeting is dangerous.

I still use both.

I'm addicted. One Facebook login is too many, and a thousand is not enough. It's one thing to be addicted when my business was booming on FB, but now using it is mainly compulsive and I always feel worse after using it.
