I've seen a few people preaching against social media whilst saying they have never used it. So how do they know if it's any good? Of course we managed without it before, but it does have uses. It can help build communities that could not exist otherwise. Most of it is full of pointless junk, but you can filter that out by being careful who you follow. That said, I'll admit to spending far too much time on Steemit. I have other things I really ought to be doing, but in this one life we get we have to decide what matters.
