I noticed that there are quite a number of crypto-powered social media popping out in recent years. I believe the most successful one is Steemit, which most of us can agreed on. There are also other social network platforms like Appics, Uhive and etc. I am curious to know if anyone of you is willing to switch from the daily social network app like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to crypto-powered social network. And if you could, do share your reasons for doing so.

at this time if for example a social media network was developed with the power of crypto I think it would definitely be very popular among people who use social media because in an age of changing digital technology now many of them are very attractive to benefit via online rather than they play social media all day long without the slightest entrance fee, I hope that in the future Facebook will officially launch libra so that social media fans can benefit.

I have a Steemit account and several other crypto paid social networking accounts, but now I never use it again because I'm not very comfortable with paid social networking, anyway the pay is not much

I don't have a steemit account but I'm somewhat familiar with it, and I didn't realize that the pay was low. I think it depends on how popular what you write is, am I right? There have been threads here linking to steemit articles and it always looked like the writers were getting paid pretty well. I actually like that idea a lot, and I think it's a great use of crypto, letting users vote with their money as to which articles/posts are the best. There have been some very informative ones I've read, no doubt written with the hope of getting paid but good ones nevertheless.

I don't know if this is becoming a trend or not, tho. Steemit is the only such site I've heard of, and the ones op mentioned must be based out of countries far, far away from the U.S. (where I'm at). As I said, I think these sites are a really good idea, and I'm not a big user of social media sites myself.

These are definitely interesting. I haven't any of it for now. As I've read this thread I'm getting curious about it. I'm into social media like facebook, twitter and instagram among others. I'm an android user, are these downloadable in playstore? I will try to check on it.

One pays you the other just data mines you, i guess the incentive is there...

Its like those bounties that pay you when posting in the "classic" social networks, but with the payment system built in. You pay and get paid for views, likes and comments. But in their token which might not make it such a good deal after all...

Well i suppose some people will try their best to "pull their friends out" the common networks, but its always the "social" factor the hard one. People won't easily change, "my friends are there"...

Its actually easier when you DON'T use any of the classic networks, you got "nothing to lose". Reminds me of people's Windows addiction...

Actually i am willing to try if they have a good one but they need to make it much more users friendly like facebook that you can easily post anything about your self. The idea of earning while c ommunicating with your love ones is good insight for me.

Steemit is different since this only a blogging platfrom with the opportunity to earn from upvote.

it is the hype of 2017. whenever someone created a new idea and copied the technology without innovation and then made some profit, at least 50 others copied that idea and repeated the same thing and all failing.

if they could some day create a truly decentralized social network then i would definitely use it without hesitation. the problem is that so far we have seen none. all these projects like steemit that you mentioned are centralized which means they are no different than Facebook,...

It's one of the few ways of earning cryptocurrency - and if you are in say Venezuela or the Philippines, then these kind of sites are useful.

However, most of them don't take the next step which is to build an ecommerce network around them where people can spend the coins they earn. Hopefully one of these sites will end up doing it.

Crypto powered social networks weren't that popular. Right now Steemit is the only social networking source that is perfectly functioning and gives people good recognition for the articles and posts shared by the users. Brave browser too have begun to give users with some BAT, maybe more social networking sites will emerge powered by cryptocurrency.

Steemit is really good, if people happen to like you articles, you can get paid for having posted them. There is also another social network for posts called Publish0x that is similar to steemit. Medium is my favorite but I don't think that they pay with cryptocurrency for publishing your material.

Probably move this to service discussion, not really related to bitcoin discussions.

Anyway, I definitely think it's gotten a lot of attention in recent years, and having features like being able to earn rewards and basically make money of using social media is very attractive to a lot of Millenials nowadays.

A lot of these networks like steemit for example, only reward people who put a lot of attention in their work, so the communities often feel a lot tighter but a lot closer, which is an aspect I actually like.

You should create this thread in the altcoin services section, I'm used to Facebook and don't think of switching to crypto-paid social networks, I have a Steemit account and several other crypto paid social networking accounts, but now I never use it again because I'm not very comfortable with paid social networking, anyway the pay is not much, because I will not sacrifice my pleasure just for a little money.
