You are right. Facebook has gone from being a platform for original thought to people posting articles posted by other people, which I have usually read before, and pictures of what people are eating. Besides the lack of original content, there is also a bias against real life. We post filtered, arranged, photoshopped images of a Pinterest worthy life. We post positive quotes. What about our sad days? No one posts pictures of themselves crying or starts meaning ful discussions about important deep personal choices much. I wanna see the real person, not the posed plastic pictures they chose to post.

Why I joined Steemit
Yep! I've wanted to leave Facebook for a long time, but needed something to replace the habit. I kept thinking I would lose contact with people I am friends with on there, and lose all the progress on my games, and have no way to see the live feeds I was addicted to, but I know it is the evolution of social sites, and that eventually everyone I know will be on this site, or one similar. Even when I deactivated my accounts, Facebook showed pictures of my friends, saying how much they would miss me. An extra dose of guilt before I go. But I stood strong! I don't even miss it.
Here instead of posting what you ate for lunch, people can take pictures of their meals, and create posts about all the foods they ate that day, or how they prepared them. They can write about how their day went, what problems they faced, and how they solved them, instead of the vague comments about them being upset. We all sit there, like okay, is there like a follow up to this story??? lol
Shoot, people should be excited that they can get paid to post all their drama on Steemit! lol
