Though I am absolutely brand new at this whole Steemit thing, the one thing that just screams out is how on Steemit you are a collaborator and a creator whereas on Facebook I think at best you are a product that they get to sell and reap the rewards. With Steemit, each one of us gets to act as a agent for not only what we will create, but also for those things we will honor with our support (whether as a one off upvote or a follow to establish an ongoing relationship.) This is a huge departure from being packaged and sold off for the add revenue of which you and I see nothing. For the longest time, Facebook has deeply bothered me... I think this distinction that I am only now really seeing is at least part of what has been under my skin all along. Thanks for your post. Peace. - (following & resteemed)
