Ever since I discovered Steemit my time spent on alternative social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram has significantly reduced. In fact on most days I'm likely to be surfing through Steemit looking for some interesting content that may spark an idea in me for a post or an activity I'd like to do.
Ofcourse, this doesn't imply that I don't use FB. I'm very active on Facebook but maybe I spend a little less time there. It's still a great place for connecting with your friends and family. The potential for networking and marketing yourself or a product is very high on Facebook.
Steemit is fast growing and offers a great range of content. You can search these by tags: https://steemit.com/tags. Steem based applications such as Steepshot has made it easier to convince people to use our blockchain technology over products that offer no return for your effort. For a majority of users they don't generate engagement in the thousands on these social media. Sure, it's probably the same on Steemit.
But here there is a good chance that you might earn some money. For many that's a motivating factor I would assume to use this platform over anything else. However, we're still a long way to go from mass adoption and that too will happen over the course of time.
Steemit has a long way to go from becoming an authoritative site from a quality of content perspective. That's the argument I hear sometimes from people that there isn't a lot of quality stuff here. But, probably because we aren't quite there yet-in front of the audience we want to attract.
Meanwhile, I wanted to do a poll via comments with my readers and find out in 2018 which platform you prefer to use the most and why. Maybe the responses will give me new ideas when I approach people to onboard them to Steemit.
Let's hear it!

I used to be actively involved with Facebook until I started with steemit a few months and since then the time I used to spend on other social media has been reduced considerably.
I can say the same for a number of my friends too.
This 2018 I'd love to spend a lot of time on the steem blockchain. Why? I get paid for my time on here.

Honestly speaking, I was very active on Facebook. I used to write on different topics. No likes, comments or share. I'd have got one or two likes or comments if I was lucky enough.
Then I got Steemit. I'm not exaggerating a bit. I almost stopped logging into my account. I was literally pissed off seeing only selfies, birthday pics, honeymoon pics, marriage pics, new home, new car, new bike, etc. etc. No information sharing, no personal opinion on any burning topics. Everyone wants to be politically correct. No controversial opinion. Everything censored and centralised.
Thnx to STEEMIT

Great post and question @firepower. I personally have (near) completely switched over to Steemit full-time. I use Snapchat to regularly connect with friends and I use Instagram lightly to follow friends and influencers I like. Steemit though is something that I open constantly throughout the day. If I’m looking to interact with the community and read something interesting, I open Steemit and browse my favorite tags (usually the Steem, crypto, or travel tags). Im also curious to hear other people’s daily habits on social. I imagine that many of us here have similarly switched to using Steemit more than any other platform. Thanks for opening this poll, should be super interesting!!!

I agree. My Facebook usage has dwindled since joining here a couple of July's ago, but I still use FB quite a bit because not all of my friends/family are on Steemit. In fact, 99.9% of the people I personally know aren't. So of course I'll still be hanging out on FB. And that's okay because I find I don't necessarily want to post everything I post from Steemit onto Facebook too, and vice versa. They're 2 totally different audiences. It's the same for Twitter, in fact. I have a totally different follower base there than I do here and than I do on FB, so it's almost like 3 different worlds.

I like your way of thinking about social! Why make Facebook and other platform owners rich when we can all benefit from our own hard work!!

Frequency of Facebook has definitely fallen since joining Steemit. The relevance of the material shown has gone down... to many stupid and mind numbing posts about babies, cute animals, political rage, or regurgitated content. Maybe the friends I have are becoming more "Basic" or maybe I'm more interested in earning while I interact with an online community...
Still, I have to spend at least some time on each platform for marketing my business. Its the "be everywhere" concept of internet marketing.

Most of my friends don't even know that site like steemit exist :( They are
accustomed to facebook and the change wouldn't be so easy for them.
In my opinion it might take some time but people will finally notice that steemit is much better than their holy site :P

I personally like instagram. Pictures there seem to get more attention than here on steemit. My photography posts on instagram get somewhere in the number of 20-40 likes but on steemit often times I find myself only getting the upvote from @photocontests but even that is still more than the $0 from instagram so I still post my photogrpahy here :) Also I feel like instagram is a better short term social media platform where u can log on for a few minutes to just scroll among pictures and then leave it for a few hours to just check in when you are bored. Steemit to me requires a higher level of focus especially if you are actively posting and commenting. Just my thoughts :)

I use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, dtube, and steemit.
I hope everyone switches over to the STEEM blockchain to perform their social media functions because STEEM has the ability to support that.
Zapple > Twitter
Dmania > Instagram
Dtube > YouTube
Steemit > Facebook
All of these blockchain social media platforms are powered by STEEM.
They also all do what the mainstream ones do.
Of course they are a ghetto blockchain version...But with increased use, I believe STEEM has the power to over take the social media market and truly distribute the billions of dollars that Facebook, Instagram, twitter, YouTube, etc hoard in a decentralized manner to the users of the platform.
Wealth is no longer a manner of labor...But a manner of participation.
And I am proud to participate as a #STEEMER

I do use facebook still (even though I am not a fan anymore) but its my connection to my friends and family, and its a great way to turn people onto Steemit!
As far as other social platforms go, youtube is oversaturated for video content so I only use it for hosting my videos. Snapchat could be useful for promoting steemit posts and such...
I'm not sure discord would be considered a social media format (its more of an instant messaging platform), but I do feel that it does have a HUGE value in supporting social media through community building and person to person interaction.

I'll be honest: Steemit has probably INCREASED my use of those three platforms.
However, it has definitely altered the starting point and flow of content. I think differently since joining Steemit. It has inspired me to change my perspective on many topics. I would say that because of the ability to engage a wide variety of interests here, how I look at content on other platforms has evolved (both in my own creation and what other folks are saying).
So in terms of flow:
I take photos and travel as much as possible. So Instagram is a starting point for delivery of imagery. But then I share them here and will add my extended thoughts to when I publish. This platform also lets me aggregate my collections as well as show off photos I may not feel are "Instagram worthy" (as pathetic as that may sound).
Twitter is where I engage real live debate or even just expel my own thoughts in the moment. I have taken tweet storms and published them here with additional edits and occasionally photos that I didn't want to interject on my Twitter feed.
Facebook is my most personal platform because of its longevity and the community of connections I have there. I share Steemit posts to that platform's groups but also will occasionally share a Steemit post to my personal timeline if I want that message to be seen.
Obviously, we can't negate the value creation incentives of Steemit when talking about it, however, if you have a content development background or are just a creative mind in general, publishing to Steemit is essentially second nature.
Does that make sense?

Steemit is definitely my #1 social media platform for me.
To tell you the truth I never liked social media and still don't, but I am addicted to steemit.
I used fb, but I didn't spend much time on it at all, because like I said I'm the old style person (no phone, no social media, just live and enjoy life and nature) but I love what steemit has to offer.
The friends I have met are amazing, I have learned a lot and still have to learn a lot, I am so inspired by people and all the projects here and how everyone is trying to help each other.
I don't think there will ever be a better social media platform than steemit which empowers us to be better people, give a helping hand, grow and learn, it can and does provide freedom, dreams come true etc.

I just got into steemit about a week ago and since then I only use whatsapp, I am actually introducing it to all my friends on facebook, so we could all come here and post our contents and catch fun just as we do on facebook. I am not saying other socialmedia are not important but I think Steemit is the Future of socialmedia. What do you think?

I've never been active on social media platforms, i found them as a very weird place, with a lot of fake people that are constantly spamming useless information, however steemit is completely different. The only other social media platform that i visit form time to time is FB, but only because i can play chess here:D

I joined steemit a month ago . I rarely use fb , twitter now . I don't see any value in staying on those platform other than to message friends over there . All my news , videos , gags i need is available on steemit . If my friends will come to this platform that will be the end of fb , twitter .
Steemit is growing , after mass adoption fb,twitter wont be needed by anybody

The only social media I really use still is Snapchat and Instagram. It’s definitely less though since when I’m on my phone with free time I just go on Steemit mobile with the Esteem app :).

As daily time is limited to 24 hours I invested gradually more time into Steemit as there is smarter content than on facebook, Twitter etc. As this is obviously the same with a lot of more people I dont think it will take so long time to push steemit into the top ten social media sites. Today for the first time in the last months steemit has the third highest growth on coinmarket.com. As most of the other crypto currencies today are stagnating or declining it must be due to their great concept and their users. Steemit is listed today on the 24th place. Yesterday it was on 25th position and I think this walk up into the top 20s is continuing in the next days.

You are right,people who are using steemit obviously is spending less time in other social networking site as ,it is one of the powerfull tool which can provide opportunities to the weakest section of the society to come forward and showcase their skills and get rewarded and this will help us fight poverty specially in underdeveloped and developing nations.

I ditched all mainstream social media. All their cunning data mining algorithms made me sick... Steemit is a very good implemented initiative of the blockchain tech.

The only two other social media that I am still using is 1) Facebook in order to communicate with close friends and family members easily, and 2) Reddit; because there are so many more people there, and lots of good discussions that does not get as much attention here on Steemit.

Twitter. I think it's the best social media platform. ( except Steemit )
they are not censoring their users like Mark Zuckerberg.

I'm not a big fan of social networks! I still use a little bit of Twitter but especially to inform me, I only comment very rarely and I tweet even less!
Snapchat remains a nice way to chat with my family and keep in touch! So Steemit wins by a wide margin :-) !

I am new to Steemit and loving every minute. I am moving my content and time 100% to steemit. Why give corporations my intelecual property for the hope that advertisers will pay. And why post personal photos and things on networks that can be shut down or compromised. There are so many advantages to social media on the blockchain, I will be using Steemit for a portfolio/blogging/vloging/music/art/socializing/etc ...what other platform do you need? I think it has it all!

I definitely stopped using blogspot or other similar ways to blog. Any time I feel the itch to do that, I just do it here now.
That was kind of the big "ah-ha" moment for me I guess. At first it felt kind of weird to post when you feel like maybe deep down you're just doing it to try to get upvotes and earn Steem.. felt unnatural.. but eventually it started to feel like just "my blog", and I use Steemit in place of blogging elsewhere, and my friends can follow me here instead of there if they're interested.
I never posted that much on Facebook, so I guess my Facebook habits haven't changed a bunch. I use it mostly for messenger, and still do that. But probably would be more likely to post on Steemit now rather than FB if I have some random thought.
