Denmarkguy, I read almost every one of your posts.   You always do such a wonderful job and it's worth my time to read them.  Now as far as what I think, the big difference between social media platforms like FacePlant and Steemit is that goal of FacePlant seems to scheme ways to get people to believe how awesome my life is and have them "like" it...after a while it wears thin on my "friends".  Steemit is the reverse in my opinion.  In order for me to get upvotes on Steemit I have to produce content for OTHERS and not for my ego.  The content has to be interesting, thought provoking and visually pleasing.  It takes more effort and consistency.  It's less about me and more about you.  A wise man said, "Give and it shall be given back to you."

@rocketbeee, thanks for the kind words and support.... and you bring up some interesting points there. "This" kind of community was not rare, pre-Farcebook; it was how we came together, in social blogging communities. FB was really a "downgrade," in terms of connecting... in a strange sort of way. Everybody migrated, of course, because the *interface* was slick, and they had photo albums and better usability-- you didn't have to know HTML and such. But FB "stole" depth of connection... ever try blogging there? It doesn't work. It's great for posting pictures of your taco... if that sort of thing rings your bell. 

The underlying premise here is different. On FB you "collect" friends and likes... here you earn friends, and you are *given* upvotes. There's a "pay it forward" thing happening. And the cool thing about it? As we learn to "give freely" here, it subtly changes our mindset, as we go out into the world.
