Your favourite Social Media platform?

Your favourite Social Media platform?


Steem(it) aside, which is your favourite social media platform?

The reason I ask is that a Steemian friend (@fitinfun) recently posted some tips on being a better twitter user. The tips were great, and you should totally check it out if you're still active on twitter, but I contested that twitter is a (near to) dead platform, which is why I no longer bother with all the effort.

Have I got it wrong? Which is your favourite social media platform?

BONUS ... Make your vote and leave a comment on this post (about anything, I just want to encourage engagement on my posts)... and I'll randomly pick 10 comments to receive a @SteemBasicIncome share when this post closes in 7 days.

Twitter is great, many important, famous or infamous, histrionic people are sharing their thoughts. Like John McAffee, Buttcoin, the economist Nouriel "bitcoin is worth nothing, will be zero" Roubini or Donald Trump. You don't know if you should laugh or cry. Much petter than pets and weddings on Facebook.

I came from Twitter and I knew Steem on Twitter. So.. my favorite social network, after Steem 😊 is Twitter. Right now my time on social network is about 90% Steem, 10% Twitter.
Cheers!

Similar story here... I "built a large following" on FB, Twitter & YouTube ... but I spend 90% of my social media time here on Steemit.

Its between Youtube and Steemit.

I check insta, but I dont post.
And I have an extention on facebook, which blocks my newsfeed so I can only see Notifications :D

I'm squandering so much time on Twitter. But you can find really good pieces of Information. I still find it valuable and don't want to filter more

and, thanks to Twitter, you can always know what Trump is doing :p

Actually no. Blocked him. Don't Need to know about his moods.

Let explain my choice of discord.

I spend many hours on discord everyday chatting with friends from around the world, attending voice shows and participating in giveaways.

Also, discord is where I receive notification about certain activities related to me on Steemit thanks to @ginabot

Ah... Yes! I also spend a helluva lot of time on discord. Good "choice" ;-)

I become to use more Twitter and I love it.

Thanks for weighing in @robertoueti ... I'll admit that I'm shocked to hear how many people chose twitter over anything else.

Oh please. STEEM blockchain has the most intelligent community. It doesn't invade your privacy. you don't have to see ads. It is still less toxic than other social media and you get paid for posting. There are STEEM alternatives (ripoffs) to most social media projects. Out of the ones you did mention I'd pick YouTube because there is so much you can learn about if you know to find the right channels.

Thanks for weighing in @vimukthi ...
not TOO sure about the "less toxic" nature of STEEM... I've seen some epic/nasty battles go down... but yeah, agree that YouTube is great (if you find the right channels) ;-)

I only use SteemIt. Partly because I can't stand ads on other platforms, and I don't feel motivated to post if there's no reward.

Well... I originally fell in love with Steemit because I got tired of having to pay FB/YT/Whatever to show my videos to people that I had already paid advert/promotion money to gain as subscribers.

Unfortunately Steemit is a lot worse... very few people actually care about anything except their own rewards... and so unless you have a large wallet (which little or no newbies on the platform do), nobody is going to bother watching/consuming your content (and upvoting you for the reward)... sad but true.

Having said that, while "organic" growth on Steemit is slower than on any other social platform, the growth that IS there is great... and hopefully things will be WAY different in 3-5 years, and then I'll be glad I stuck it out during the "circle-jerk" days :P

/rant over

P.S. Apologies for the rant... didn't mean to be negative... I really do intend sticking around on Steemit for the long-haul in spite of my naive outlook being proven wrong every day :P

That's certainly valid criticism. However I have had some human interaction on Steemit, so it's definitely not only bots and investors. Hopefully it will grow more human with time, as the platform is easy to find for those wanting to make "easy money", but eventually more people may hear about the platform and bring to it a more interesting point of view.

I like to watch music videos with lyrics, I also like health- and other Videos.

For me it is a tie between twitter yt and fb.

Twitter gives me news and now steemit posts to come to since I'm hooked up to 400+ of us on a list over there. I also have about 800 crypto peeps on another list - all since steemit - and they are pretty active. They and my other 5000 connections rt my steemit tweets far in excess of what the steemers do. Twitter is also the source of 75% of my affiliate income when I am on my game.

It is no good for my weight loss niche though.

My yt channel has 500 videos in my niches and I use it to compress videos before uploading to dtube. Then the day after I publish here, I go over there and post the same video to my yt channel telling people I make money with my videos here instead.

On fb I am in over 800 groups in all of my niches. I click the button on our post screens all day long and send my posts and other people's posts over there, telling people to come here. I run about 15 pages there in my niches, and this is where the other 25% of my affiliate income comes from

fyi, I am off the twitter project other than creating the list of heavy hitters for nathan and whoever else cares. I thank you and a few other people on that post who let me see the error of my ways. It’s hard enough to try to help fat people get thin. If I need to get the life sucked out of me, I at least want to be doing it in my niche. I mean this is the nicest possible way.

Well @fitinfun ... maybe it's all of us naysayers who have it wrong... according to this (very small) poll, twitter is actually leading as everyone's favourite platform.

I saw that lol. I'm still not wading back in. I will do what I have always been doing over there, but someone else can try to motivate people. When I was doing the coaching for it, few took my advice anyway. The ones that did were happy, but I felt like I was spinning my wheels and not helping fat people, which is my main task.

The people who say it is dead over there are not trying and don't know what to do anyway. I get really good results when I work my affiliate stuff. But I gave that up a year or so ago for this place since I only have limited time and resources. My son had a fit since he gets that money to his account in the us.

I have a list of these twitter people from your post, and will pass them on in my posts (3 or 4 to come) about making the big kahuna list. I will use the hell out of that list even if no one else will. These are all the big guys of crypto/business/tech who use twitter. They are one thing, but their followers are the gold. Ka-ching.

Keep in mind that the post I made was just to get people to look at their tweet feed and see what they thought of themselves. I'm sure no one did.

I have a good 50 doc files of advice beyond that to increase engagement, sales, click through rate etc. But all needs to be updated for current conditions, and after the debacle of the first two posts I did, I'm out.

You need to enter this contest in the next hour or two if you can :)

So much to learn there. Also so much silly stuff

Hey @bluerobo ...

Yeah, I love youTube too... not only because it's my "breadwinner" as far as social media goes... but because I can also get lost for hours watching other people's submissions.
Start by watching a recipe video and ending up 5 hours later on videos about how cats are trying to steal our souls is totally "normal" :P
