RE: Steemit, I interviewed former facebook ads guy...is this why Steemit & dTube will succeed?
The thing with Facebook is they are making a KILLING in revenue from business' promoting their products or services..
I watched an episode of shark tank, 2 difference business' pitched their ideas to the sharks and they each mentioned that they spend over $250,000 on Facebook ads....That's half a million dollars from TWO random people on shark tank...that is some serious money...
Now Mark Zuckerberg wants to implement cryptocurrenies one way or another.
While I do not think steemit can ever make Facebook irrelevant i DO feel that steemit will have its proper place in the same level as Facebook and offers censorship way to earn while many people are turned off by Facebook and calling it things like FBIbook.
At least for me I will be doing all of my posts here on steemit and have not been contributing to Facebook for quite some time now. I rather grow with you guys and make some coin on the way :)
To dethrone fb, it will take another platform model, with great UI, such as that site called SteemThat, which is still in beta. This is what Steemit needs to even begin going up against Suckerborg. I'm connected with SteemThat and I like what @binkley has done so far. It can only get better!
I seen this too and am with you on trying to stay of fed book. Its all about making new contacts learning, reading and understanding more. being appreciated for kind words or good advise or banter....
... and to be rewarded for it! $$$
