To believe that steemit and facebook are in confrontation with each other is bull, why you ask, well it has to do with how people think, people like confrontation. Many a celebrity, musician, and politician use a simple tactic called publicity to sway opinions to what they invest in, if originally it was facebook and say the investment market of facebook leveled out, then in order to make your money back you have to start a new site with a twist, oh say its called steemit, well no matter who you are outside the builder circle you realize an investment and know it will gross a decent income, well pull out your investment and invest in the new, and well how do you turn heads to try your new investment, how do you do this you ask?
Start an over rated political war to sway people to try your stuff, take rappers for instance, they get street cred for faking wars with each other to help gain popularity, the more interesting the confrontation the more their sales go up, why well it has to do with how people think, friends rapping with each other vs they were friends but ended up beating the crap out of each other during a bar fight and now are sworn enemies people want to find out why well it turns out bad mouthing makes more sales than being friends even though behind scene they are still friends, steemit cant flow without popular youtube and facebook hosts and channels, name and popularity is everything nowadays.
A nobody stoutly speaking of politics vs a polular show host, both speaking the same and both about the same agenda but the nobody wont get a vote unless someone is generous, so if the popular agree to host on steemit, people ask why, i already have a face book and ive put alot of time and effort in it also why switch, so what do you do, you bad mouth facebook to get steemit's name and popularity out, its a fact im not good at public speech but i know if i write on steemit i might get a few bucks, but if i write on facebook im gunna get a smiley face or a thumbs up with some douchebag trying to explain to my how his opinion is better or how smart i am, honestly id rather have five cents than the douche speech or a thumbs up.
The point is the world is a bland opinionated circle with very little grand ideas left, with the exception of hey you can get money for your opinions on a blockchain that still makes you scroll through dick pics of your global family, the point is dont fall for this crap, make your own opinions without your favorite celebrity tweeting about how they make 11000.00 usd on steemit and facebook can cram their greedy asses up a pipe cause you didnt realize your dick pic was worth that much.
Oh and i was going to put a few dick pics but i realized i cant delete anything on the blockchain and luckily i only have 30 or so followers so if i had i wouldnt have to worry.
This world is made of love and peace.
