I'm not sure facebook and insta are better. I seem to avoid those and head over here. I suspect the reasons I do will be reasons a lot of people choose steemit.
- The content is more involved/article based. I'm a bit sick of the shallowness of fb and insta although I appreciate that people are linking info and videos etc and it is a little easier to get to know people over at fb.
- There is less trolling and a more positive attitude here. Maybe it is down to the ability to flag? I'm not sure. I think the atmosphere is just more nurturant in the first place, perhaps because of the demographics of early adopters? They tend to be people interested in liberty and freedom of thought/speech ... so they are less likely to try to shut you down.
- Hell! I get paid in steem to interact here and I'm NOT feeding fb/instas coffers!
- I'm not assaulted with wrinkle cream and weight loss adverts here [ ;-D ]. FB seems to cannily know I might be in the market for either, or or both.
you so right! but facebook and insta are easier to use, i find it more interesting then steemit and can't tell why...
I’d have agreed they are easier to use, but since I discovered the steemify app I think the playing field is level.
yeah it looks good but it's only for ios...
