At least the data privacy advantage of sphere will be a good argument to change.
But untill then the project needs money and a good start to publish a product which got features the people expect from a social NW platform.

data privacy only matters to a small group of people. but it is a start. draw those people in and get bigger, then move to draw in others.

Sad but true. Most people are ignorant when it comes to data privacy. You need a different killer feature to draw people away from Facebook.

And you said, it seems most people don't really care anymore about their privacy. A good example is WhatsApp, I think. Even though there are more secure messenger apps, people wanna stick to WhatsApp. Sphere has really a long way ahead, but I am confident they can do it.

i like the idea that privacy, company transparency, and data security should be the fundamental building block of every social platform.

Well what‘s wrong with Steemit? As far as I know they are growing. Of course not as fast as Facebook did, but if you think about that Facebook is a very strong competition and Steemit mainly for crypto users at the moment. Beside that it is more focused on blogging and still quite userunfriendly. Also they have some very useless rules there like let people use bots to get more upvotes and money but in the same moment they get crazy about if you tag your posts wrong lol the Steemit community is mostly driven by greed instead of good content. And that is maybe the point why Steemit ultimately will fail to get really big.

But Sphere looks much more useful as a ‘replacement‘ for Facebook here, at least in the beginning for crypto user.

Steemit is good, popular social platform. I have used Steemit recent months, it works smoothly. Sphere is likely a competitor for Facebook, not Steemit. They are focus on different targeting users and community.

I recently started blogging on Steemit. I must say that it is indeed a steep learning curve, and it's definitely not ready for mass adoption. If their text editor was half as good as bitcointalk's, I'd be so happy. I do agree that Sphere isn't a direct competitor to Steemit, but I am open to blogging on Sphere if it was easier to use & simpler to be rewarded.

What different between Steemit and Sphere? How about Golos? This 2 crypto social network which I know, and they are popular (Steemit and Golos). May be Sphere have a chance become popular too Huh

As I said, Steemit is for a different target group and it is more about blogging (even if people are using it for other stuff too). Also it is really user unfriendly in my eyes and has strange rules and in my eyes a community which is driven by greed (not everyone but most). Also there are different parties/fractions of users who are in some kind of war on steemit as you can downvote other ones posts so that they don‘t get a payment.

I am really looking forward to Sphere and hopefully a much more userfriendly interface and not such strange rules.

Steemit is basically Medium with an incentive system, Sphere is a social network like facebook, mySpace, twitter and so on. I really don't know how Golos works, it's like Steemit?

However, they should do something better than FB for example. The latter has nothing like intuitive interface. This is the most obvious thing that can be done much better

Unfortunately we are still in the stage of persecution and defamation, for sure we will have better days, and those who are pursuing today will surrender to Crypto and everything related. Sphere is a step further and will have its large share in this process

if sphere can get at least 1M active users and open ads platform, it will great. sphere can fight with big platform subh as fb and twitter

No platforms can fight with Giants like Facebook and Twitter at this moment. They have a huge market share and people are just lazy to test something new, I'm waiting for the new things apart from them which sphere can offer.

that's once said for ICQ,MSN, myspace or else..

Once they are the main messengers or platforms, now they are just some good old memories (to those over 25:) )

Tooting ! In place of the old, something new always comes, if speaking about facebook, I think this social network is outdated and any upgrade would does not help - probably human nature is so arranged that monotony with time annoying.

That's for sure! And the current ban has further aggravated the situation on Facebook. Now people will be looking for alternative social network to share information about cryptomite! The Sphere is perfect for that!

People always want something new. Facebook has a lot of members, but not all are really active.

On the internet everything is going very fast and leading companies that seem irreplaceable can be replaced in a short time by new ones due to a bad decision. I'm sure that if Sphere does things correctly, it will make its way into the market.

I agree. There's so much not to like about Facebook and the bigger they get the slower they adapt to changes in the market. There will always be opportunities for new players.
