Not that many, really

Despite the fact that I have accounts on most of the well known social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, Flickr, YouTube and probably a dozen others I've already forgotten about, I only really use just a couple of them. Most of them I don't use at all. They're mostly a waste of time to me, really. At least from a consumer's point of view.

When I use a social network, I try to use it solely to my benefit. Be it quickly texting a friend or communicating a group project at school. Nevertheless, there are times when I'm not really feeling like doing anything else than watching YouTube videos. Mainly as a substitution to traditional television, though.

Which are the ones I use, then?

Facebook - Mostly because all of my friends are there. I try to avoid scrolling the news feed as much as possible. I use Messenger often, though.
Instagram - Semi-actively as of now. I would like to do more photography. Maybe build up a following, we will see.
LinkedIn - Only passively. I log in from time to time to refuse a job offer.
YouTube - This is the one I spend the most of my time on. Listening to music or watching videos is the main thing here for me.

Steemit might be the game changer here

Steemit is different in many regards. And we've already talked about this in previous posts of the May 30 Days Challenge proposed by @dragosroua, so I'm not going to repeat myself here. I just want to make it clear that making money here seems to be somewhat easier than anywhere else. It might not be as much as on YouYube, but it still is a lot better than Snapchat, for example, where you just waste your time for nothing.
