About two years ago, a quite clever friend of mine came to me with a rather interesting theory.
He thought, that the internet was killing our society. Not because we spent too much time on the internet or for whatever reason there is, for grumpy old politicians to fear the internet. No, he thought, that the internet is killing our society because of the way it takes our time and input and converts it to profit. Profit for a few big companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google. So the money is moving from the artist, the blogger, the photographer to these big companies. And this, combined with ads leads to an internet where everybody works for Facebook and co. But of course without knowing and without getting paid.
To be honest, this friend of mine was quite good at explaining this sort of stuff and well, I am not. But last weekend I got into a chat with another friend who is quite clever as well and who is good at explaining too. And this friend told me about steemit and the idea behind, and the whole time, I had to think about that theory, that the internet is killing the society.
For me, there was no other way than to check out this system and its idea by myself. So here I am.
My name is Linus, I live in Germany and at the moment I study intermedia design to become a game designer at some point.
And that's the hint to what's coming on this Trampelpfad (that's German and means bootleg-tail). You can expect some 3D art, maybe some concept art (if some day, I improved my painting skills) and stories about the struggles of creating a game.
And now, let's save the internet, save our society and have a great time doing so!
