Hello Steemers, Rab here from Scotland. (In Scotland, "Steemers" means alcoholics!)
The way all social media should have been from the beginning, now watch as big companies ask you for a slice of your action!
I'm Still getting used to seeing a dollar value next to a blog post, it will force people to ask the question: "Who actually creates the value; the user or the website?", here real value generation comes from a user level as opposed to a large company convincing you it may be down to them. There is a reason Zuckerberg is really rich, and there is a reason they obscure the true value of your voice and only give you a small cut back.
I reckon the ideas behind Steem will allow for major change to take place on the internet, because of the powerful freedoms it gives back to people's content. In the end, I believe this will decentralize some of the main revenue streams for social media giants and search engines, forcing them to re-think how they act in business with their users information.
I'm here to get involved and support the community because I believe that this is the way forward!
Gone are the days of endless scrolling to find interesting content.
Thanks for being here, much love
Good to have you Rab. Its great to be part of STEEM.
