Hello Steemers, Rab here from Scotland. (In Scotland, "Steemers" means alcoholics!)
The way all social media should have been from the beginning, now watch as big companies ask you for a slice of your action!
I'm Still getting used to seeing a dollar value next to a blog post, it will force people to ask the question: "Who actually creates the value; the user or the website?", here real value generation comes from a user level as opposed to a large company convincing you it may be down to them. There is a reason Zuckerberg is really rich, and there is a reason they obscure the true value of your voice and only give you a small cut back.
I reckon the ideas behind Steem will allow for major change to take place on the internet, because of the powerful freedoms it gives back to people's content. In the end, I believe this will decentralize some of the main revenue streams for social media giants and search engines, forcing them to re-think how they act in business with their users information.
I'm here to get involved and support the community because I believe that this is the way forward!
Gone are the days of endless scrolling to find interesting content.
Thanks for being here, much love
