The Sunny Side of Steem

Are you suffering from a social media dependency? Do you feel lost in the sea of excessively white toothed talentless influencers? Are you afraid if you really reveal anything truthful and factual about your own life, that your few followers will abandon you and you will sink further into a deep dark and reclusive existence? Are you ready to try something new and different? A place where you're free to be your quirky, one of a kind, very special self, that hopefully at least your own mother said you were?

Look no further than the steem blockchain where you will discover an ensemble of free thinking perfectly imperfect people from all over the globe. Here at steem you will be welcomed by a rare opportunity to share your thoughts, talents, dreams, and real life bittersweet moments that have no place amongst the phony spectacle of one uppers and egotistical plastic people on the not so social media outlets you are addicted to.

Look, I was once just like you, bored to tears and uninspired by 95% of the content available. Why subject yourself to a rat race that only seeks to exploit an idealised image of yourself so that they can sell their garbage to others caught in the trappings of mundane, predictable and easy to manipulate attention spans?

Join me and millions of others on our journey to social media recovery where you don't have to abstain from clickbait, cats, memes or the stuff we all readily admit are our shared guilty pleasures. Plus, you will find there is so much more that awaits your ears and eyes. We have an international community that is seamlessly integrating into subject specific tribes. People from all walks of life boldly sharing their personal and collective journeys into a decentralised future. A platform where you can be confident that your content will be safe and secure from the thought police. Steem is a censorship resistant space where you are guaranteed to find like minded, fair, honest and non judgemental people just like you.

Is steem a utopia? No of course not, it has its share of issues but the best part is your voice has the potential to influence the ecosystem and help to correct any imperfections you might confront. You're in effect a board member from the moment you sign on and if you're offering open minded practical solution based initiatives your vision might just help the steem of the future take shape.

There is a newly reformed incentive based economy that is leading the way to better content discovery and creation. If any of this sounds more interesting than the guy you last saw in high schools lunch, give steem a try. Be patient and positive and the chances are you will find your voice, discover things about yourself, the world and technology you never imagined possible.

Steem on!

Okay guys, this began as an idea for a satire piece where I was going to basically be old steem and crack jokes about our failings and drama that has stifled this place for far too long. But, I couldn't bring myself to talk smack and what flowed out was a genuine stream of steem consciousness that is my honest sunny side of the street view. Call me a cheerleader or whatever but if I'm honest I'm pretty addicted to steem and I'm OK with that for all the above reasons..

Have a great weekend
