Hello steemians,
Overtime, The battle between steemit and Facebook was set on. News keep spreading like wildfire. People are getting excited about the joy steemit has put in their lives. The Steemit VS. Facebook talk goes on and on. Well, I specially prepared this post to lay my views as a facebooker and as a steemian.
On a personal basis, in my early youthful days I was one who couldn't stay a day without logging into Facebook, I could spend more time on Facebook gaining nothing, chatting and making sure I don't run out of data(now the question is how do I gain from my lost data or how will Facebook help recover it?). I was so addicted to Facebook that I could miss my meals for mare chatting (sounds funny right😀) going over the platform to make friends(especially girls😂), wishing people birthdays on Facebook was my hobby, scrolling down my news feeds to get stories, competing over likes on my pictures and lots more....
Now the Big question is: HOW DO I GAIN FROM THE FROM THE TWO PLATFORM?
I was still being led blinded not until I met a friend @ishotz who got to introduce me to the steemit community, He told me about the goals and benefits of steemit, I found it so interesting that I decided to take a chance which till date I have no cause for regrets.
MY TAKE:
As a student, you've got so many things to settle financially, ranging from your textbook, writing materials, departmental dues, clothing , and some other daily needs and to me(a youth in his early twenties), I felt at some point in My life I really need to take responsibilities for myself, get to support my dad who is single handedly raising me and my other 3siblings up(by not having to bother him much).
Ever since I joined the steemit community, it has put in me more smiles and here are some reasons why I prefer it to Facebook:
