I've always made fun of social media...

in steemit •  7 years ago 

It's true. I talk crap about Facebook, Snap Chat, Instagram, and the like all the time. "Why do all those idiots post memes and selfies all day long??" I constantly ask myself. They don't get anything in return except "likes" and cheesy comments. What's in it for them? What's in it for me? It's become so impersonal and brain dead. I feel as though my IQ drops every time I would log in to Facebook. It drives my dad crazyyyyy that I don't go on Facebook anymore. Yeah, I'm selfish. I'm a mother and @alex-icey will be going to college soon...so I invest my extra time and energy in...you guessed it...making money so he can have a better life than me! These 3 deserve the best, too:

Steemit is a whole different ballgame. Just starting out here, but at least there is something "in it for me". Even YouTube, Reddit and Quora, which are not bad by my standards, don't hold a candle to Steemit. 

Thank you, Steemit. I have added you to my portfolio.

I couldn't agree with you more. Tell you something I find odd, the promotion of intelligence here vs the dumbed down nature of mainstream media lol...seems its better to post a simple meme there and severe real communication between people and luckily on Steemit we have real conversations. Glad you see the value in this community. Followed you, may you do amazing with Steemit

Indeed. The value of the community here extends well beyond anything monetary.

I agree, money is great if put to good use but I am more for crypto for the movement side myself, help others and gain some backbone against the system that needs a whole lotta fixing lol. Keep up the positive work. Well worth the follow

OMG, you have three dogs! <3 So cute :)

Yes, and thank you. Maybe they need their own Steemit account. :)

Oh they definitely do :P haha

Ah the dogs are lovely 😀

They are my pride and joy - especially when my teenager misbehaves. :D

Haha brilliant!

Such cute dogs! (im on steepshot so I can't read)

yes pretty soon you can say "what!?? I'm just working pops"

Social media networks are awesome man u get to meet people from all around that you most likely wouldn't have a chance meeting otherwise and now they're offering to pay us for something i already love doing I think I'm in love haha great article

Social media networks are awesome so long as they make your life and the lives of others better in some way.
