yes i hear you - but in other social media you post for the love of it not for money - i notice that when money is involved something eventually dies, as in lack of rewards, in FB its a lack of likes or shares - in steemit its a monetary value - the thing is - at least for me its about sharing and not being censored as in other social media such as FB - FB works because everyone i know is on it and it can connect us - steemit - well it is in one sense offering a financial reward system for sharing and in that will come the rankings where many loose out and some win - this system is bound to bring up issues over time and effort vs reward - but take away the reward and do it for the sheer pleasure and see what happens - maybe nothing in monetary terms but isn't life more than just what we can get out of it - and more about what we make of it ?
Well not really I used to do affiliate marketing on FB and Twitter many years ago ,and sometimes I got a sale from 20-30 views, which at least translated to 10$.
So that here would barely mount to 1 cent, even if 1000 people view your article and they have 0 steem power, you still dont get a buck. And if I were to start pushing referral links here I would be downvoted to oblivion.
So in that sense, from marketing standpoint, FB and Twitter will still earn you more than Steemit, unless they equalize the STEEM POWER distribution.
