I can see where you are getting upset BUT some of us came-to Steemit because it was advertised to us that it was a non-censored Facebook.
If you want more people to join Steemit, you are going to get more “shit posts.” Why? Because when I get “my mom” (or any other Facebook user) off Facebook, she’s not going to all of a sudden become a professional blogger/photographer. We will probably still see pictures of her grandkids - which I think is fine.
I put effort into what I post and I’m glad others do too. I’m enjoying the writing community and reading short stories, and even these types of posts AND the simple pictures by everyday people.
PS. If I had enough steem Power, and I would have seen the “shit hit the fan” post early enough, I would have given it my $.01 upvote.
But I disagree with the idea that Steemit is going to be the new FB. People have said that, but it isn't really set up that way. Not Steemit. Maybe another website powered by Steem, but that's different. Steemit is like the nicer, classier version of Reddit, where you can make money. Most people here don't want it to become Facebook. There are plenty of other up and coming blockchain sites that are parents can go to if and when FB comes crashing down. There may even be a Steembook! That would be awesome. But Steemit is a place to put out quality content, whether that be art, music, writing, videos or what not. It would be sad if it just became another FB and I don't think I would stick around at that point!
I came for the “non-censored” Facebook, but agree with you that the current platform is better than Facebook. I curved my posts to give a little more value, but could have easily stuck to sharing my affiliate marketing ventures (I came here to as a marketer but like being here as a writer better).
I’m having a good time, and am enjoying the dialogue tour post brought.
