The reason why I think Steemit won't kill Facebook is there's too many people out for themselves people posting things that are useless. Trying to get votes and comments making steam it just saturated with useless stuff and the problem is after 30 minutes after making really good content your post dies ..becomes buried in with all the useless content.
I don't think Steemit will kill Facebook!!!

We are supposed to get "communities" in 2017 as a HF in steemit. If the communities project is well done, steemit could potentially take an immediate run at Facebook. If the communities can be self forming around each individual, we just took a big jump towards FB challenger.

Steemit doesn't need to kill Facebook in order for it to change lives or the world for that matter. It can be a very good income stream, if you do it right.
The key is to find good people to follow, and to post regularly your own stuff.

The quality of an average Facebook post is not better than an average Steemit post. The platform features for Facebook is the result of 13 years of development with an ever increasing and improving crew of developers, testers and marketeers.
Companies in the social media industry do not tend to have eternal life. But can you imagine an internet without Google? I can't at the moment, but maybe the way forward is an internet without big private companies at the helm. In that respect, Steemit is certainly a step forward and probably not the sole reason for the failing of other endeavors, but more likely on of the factors that contribute to disruptive developments.

I can imagine an internet without google. As a matter of fact this world would be better off without google. Their algorithm likes to favor things for no apparent reason. They come out with a new algorithm that shafts people for no reason. Not to mention, like social media they track your every move. The way I see it id like to see some other smaller search engines succeed. I mean google tax evades better than any business in existence thats pretty sad we let a huge corporation like google get away with it. I personally like duckduckgo anonymous searching at its finest :)

A curator doesn't get all the profits. Where else can you make some money just having insightful comments? There is no CEO here taking all that ad money FROM your posts and profiting. The only people profiting here are curators and the people that comment, upvote, and resteem. Seems awfully different to me.
Are we not all in it to win it for ourselves? Sure id love to take all my money I earned and give it away. We all need money however. Thats not to say people are not out for the common good and want to see others succeed. If my post only makes me 10 bucks and yours makes a 100 all the power too you. Work hard to achieve success. Be lazy and well you get what you get....Thats how I see it anyway. No one here got where they are today rehashing old news, writing bland crappy content. No they worked hard and pushed out tons of content and in the start didnt make crap, but by growing a following, and being appreciated of others work they get paid now...seems fair to me. Hell what do you get out of twitter, facebook, instagram, pintrest? Seems to me they get all the traffic, the ad payout and what do you get? Some followers to follow your stuff, unless your selling something your giving your expertise out for nothing am I right?

That's one way of looking at it. Another way is "It was ever thus."
Another way still is that it's a self-solving problem. Those people producing garbage content will run out of (haha) steam when they find they're not earning millions per ten-word-post. Meanwhile, those that stay grinding, stay improving their content, stay learning the system and acquiring real followers, real mentors and a real tribe around them? They'll get there. See you on the cover of Moby Dick :D

It's not easy but don't give up. You'll start to see some techniques that will up both your profile and your earnings. Comments in posts on topics you are very interested in will help a lot with this.
Another thing is this: Google for the highest earning steemit posts and look at what they all have in common. Which of those things can you do? Start doing that. Tutorials in a skill, any skill. Cool photographs of wherever you live; if some 500-bucks-a-post travel blogger came to your town, where would they go? What would they do? Go there and do that 👍

It may not kill FB but unlike FB (pun intended), Steemit gives its content producers an opportunity to earn money. I'm not against FB but FB's model is based on a traditional one where the site is primarily driven by user-generated content that is leveraged for greater advertising revenue. Why not give some of that revenue to its users?

I think if we get communities and it is done right things will be different. It is sad when your new and take your time to craft a really good post and watch it get buried by garbage making good money and yours that you have thought out for quite some time and did your best made nothing while something really stupid makes good money... Having communities where you can center around a specific topic would help for sure!
Id love nothing more to watch facebook die a slow death. People need to do something with their time other than wasting it away on likes on facebook for reposted garbage...

Facebook is really much easier to nevigate.

First of all, it still in Beta. So there will probably be a few changes and tweaks until the real first release.
About posts burried after 30 min, it is just a matter of reorganizing the Feed algorithm : for now it justs takes latests posts.
But with a smarter algorithm, you could easily have, as in FB, a Feed that presents you first the authors that you upvoted/commented the most for example. With a judicious random function to add Feed content that you "could" like (by analyzing which tags you upvoted the most etc..). It could quickly become much better.
Anyway, you can still add a link to your older posts at the end of your new posts.

I don't think steemit will kill facebook, and I don't think it will reach the level of facebook popularity in the next 3-5 years. But not for the same reason as you!! I just think facebook is too big and will only get bigger.
When you're someone new in Facebook... how many likes will you get? how many people will see your new page between the +10,000 pages that talks about the same topic?!! the same is here for steemit...
The way to survive here isn't really making "good content". It's making "good friends" but unlike reddit where the community values Jokes and memes... in this community, they're considered low-effort posts and are frowned upon. "Good Content" is the best way to get friends here!!
The fast way to make friends here is commenting on other people, and writing good posts made with effort. when the people like your comment they will see your posts, if they liked your posts your name might get stuck in their brain.... when they see your name often with good comments/content... then they'll consider being your friends.
In social media the majority always wins, if you don't want to be in majority then create your own minority that is more "bonded" than them... But making this great minorty will take far more effort than joining the majority!!....
The worst use of steemit, is "write it and they will come"... this is a social media.. no one cares about someone they don't know!!

You are right, @cryptostudent! This platform is saturated with useless stuff, trolls and haters and even the most innocent, but really good blog (like my gardening blogs) will not get any reward in the beginning unless you have a "friend" here.
You have to "work your way up" - forever.
I personally think that all this Steemit platform is about, is pushing up Alexa ratings with every post, comment, reply, vote, read and make the cryptocurrency Steem mainstream knowledge. Good thinking on behalf of the owners.
This is not a platform where you can make money with good or bad content.
Actually, I was looking for a "delete my account" button, but I can't find it. So if I leave now, all my steem, steem dollars and steem power is gone.
I will keep looking.

You are correct this site will not even be on Facebook radar in its current form. If you ask to join and then have to wait a day or more to be approved to join then it will never work. I should be able to join a social network instantly. A lot of people will not even bother if they cannot join instantly because the majority of people actually work a real job and could care less about making a couple of cents here or there and those who are here to make money will get buried in the post of others who are not.
