To be frank, I think social media can be a waste of time.

It's just that the Steem network supposedly offer more options because of its potential, but that is not being realized.

People still use Facebook, etc. because a large number of people are there. There are things to do there. Even if they are lame apps, games, etc. Here are Steem, the focus has been mostly "shitpost for rewards". Most people don't give a second thought about interacting.

You can't grow this place by having the "shitpost for reward" mentality. You'll never attract the right people. Much less hearing the "voices unheard".
