The generation of shares
I was just scrolling through @abh12345's latest script report post which outlines various metrics with one being, most resteemed post for 2019 and as I suspected, about 80 percent of the most resteemed posts are Steem related. This is observational of course, but what is interesting to note is that people like @meesterboom and @josediccus who generally don't blog about Steem also had Steem posts as their most shared.
However one looks at it, the Steem community is very Steem-orientated and hopefully the content that promotes the benefits of Steem gets shared externally. The things I consider the most important are the censorship resistance, the security from banning, shadow banning and centralized demonetization, the ability to leverage readership across the entire network, the ability to develop easily, build personalized and owned communities, high possibility to earn something on content, with investment in a guaranteed earning through consumption via curation and of course the main point, the possibility to own a piece of the network itself and the possibility to direct the flow of reward, content and development.
While not everyone need agree with me or my view of Steem now and in the future, one thing is relatively certain here and that is, demand for the ecosystem is what drives the value of it. When people talk about the transactions of a blockchain having value, it is going to matter more and more what those transactions are doing. I believe that if a blockchain is just transacting automated gambling application, t is eventually going to be relatively valueless as it becomes a type of massive circlejerk draw on the pool that eventually requires no investment in, just cyclical transactions. There has to be a reason to use a blockchain.
Why I think that Steem has a lot of potential is that it is looking to make inroads into the largest purpose the internet is currently used for from an enduser perspective, social transaction. Sure, there are plenty of other aspects for internet usage, but when it comes to spending time on the internet, people are consuming content of some form, whether socially like Facebook and gaming, or individually like Netflix and YouTube - and the individual uses are heavily integrated with the social aspects through shares, conversations, reviews and the generation of more content based upon them.
When it comes to the value of the data generated, the reason it is so valuable is that it tracks relationships on the network between people, who is connected to who, who likes what, who buys which product, who does one group themselves with, who shares what and perhaps most importantly is, who has influence over others in their network. Being able to identify what kinds of people are able to share and have the greatest impact on behavior across various data indicators allows for precision in targeting and efficiency. The value of the data itself at a practical level is through scarcity as only a handful of organizations are able to gather, collect and interpret it at large scale.
Steem transactions not only track the relationships between nodes on the network, they also apply a value of some kind to each individual action in a number of ways. This allows for all kinds of value to be tracked and generated across multiple use case environments while still conforming to the same set of rules that the blockchain enforces. A simple example is of course the calculation of earning from post reward and curation activities - while the values an change and social relationships come into play, the blockchain treats every user absolutely fairly as it is completely impartial and makes no opinion.
The only opinions on Steem are the ones driven from the community and due to the decentralized nature of it, these opinions can vary a great deal. On a centralized platform the opinions are driven by a narrow subset in power and they themselves are driven by the profit model, and due to their reliance on advertising, they are going to create and break rules based on what maximizes their profit, this means bowing to governments and corporations who enable them to exist.
The Steem blockchain exists outside of this model to a far greater degree and does not have to change its ways unless the decentralized community agrees - even though it does connect at various points with the traditional processes, for example in the transfer of STEEM value to fiat. When it comes to content creators however, there is very little possibility for a user to be "kicked off or banned" from speaking their mind, although their direct earnings from the post could be taken away, if the community decides - NOT the blockchain.
Over the last few days we have heard more of YouTube banning and restriction of entire topic groups like crypto content and that is far too much power for a platform to have. How long until they repress based on the wishes of the governments they bow to? Oh, they likely already are which is why crypto was targeted.
This puts all users in a predicament and while they like to consume the content there, over the next few years many more are going to realize the damage and cost of participation and support of a centralized system. Sure, most won't change, but small percentages add up until critical masses can be achieved and the flood gates open. I might not live long enough to see this happen, but I don't mind living a life playing a part in the process.
However we look at it, promoting Steem is a tough sell in the current environment as everyone is driven by convenience and the far more clean and polished experiences the centralized platforms offer users. No one really cares about the damage inflicted on others, until they come for them. At the moment, there are plenty who are feeling the yoke of control close upon their neck and hopefully some of them will choose to break free and find a place on Steem, a place they can own.
We talk about the X-generation, the Millenials - the next to come should be the Share-generation.

why does it look so erotic?
That is a question for your therapist.
hahah nice one

that reply..... new follower now, great post too!
On STEEM, EOS or BITSHARES? have crypto? Human Trafficking Included. This is on VOICE as well. The developers are helping terrorists human traffic. WARNING
Self proclaimed community watchdogs are actually hacking and stalking people.
This group https://steemit.com/@steemspeak is ran by https://steemit.com/@fyrstikken. They are hacking people that enter this discord server https://discordapp.com/invite/sqxV63P . Once you are hacked they profile you long enough to know all of your activities. They introduce workplace gangstalking visits and bring it to your attention cleverly and discretely so only you get it. They are very covert and tricky with everything they say and do in this server. Some claim to have worked for or are working with the FBI and the NSA. Mixed with decommissioned traders and coding criminals, Its a scary mix of creepy people and their intent is to drive you crazy and deplete everything you have ever acquired in life, even your freedom.
My hacking started with them introducing ransomware that has options, dump my coin or delete my system drive. They acknowledged this to me in the server as it happened. I've been following this group since before it was on discord. I joined when it was on teamspeak.
This hacking and stalking is done so they can manipulate the target to pump and dump for them. Threatening and Making victims wear head phones, so nobody in your household can hear thier dramatization towards you. In 2017 this server was side marked as a drama show for entertainment purposes only as an excuse to say whatever they want all the way down to killing a politician. They have a server side command called "hey asshole" making a prompt come up instructing everyone to wear headphones. They want everyone wearing headphones so nobody in your vicinity can hear them mess with you. Fystikken says its because of "mic feedback" but once your a target you get exactly why they make everyone wear headphones.
With headphones on they subliminally direct victims with very low suggestive whispers mixed into their radio shows music. Combine this with them being able to manipulate their own individual outputs sound volume, which they control on the server side, they can pick what individual people hear at any given time. They decide who you hear on the server and change the volume controls for them. They can make some really low or off for those trying to investigate. They control who hears what and know who is who.
This team will find absolutely everything they can about you prior to using their suggestive and threatening program. They Introduce pictures that mean something only to the target, inducing paranoia while they watch and listen thru all of your circumvented devices. They are very aware of what makes you tick. They know your work schedule and use it for work stalking along side of this. I received multiple threatening letters to my work and home addressed to my screen name from this group.
Fyrstikken tells people they are drafted like they did with Facebook at the beginning. He says Facebook was started by forced labor and V2K controlled slaves, just like he creates with his gang for steem and crypto. "Get to work bitch" he tells people once circumvented and intimidated.
Human trafficking is worse than drugs. Steemit censors important content that will expose them. Look at steemit.com/@gangstalking
While censorship is a good motivator to move away from the YouTubes and other mainstream platforms, it may be a blow to the ego for a YouTuber or instagrammer with thousands of followers to start brand new. That being said, if they do, the rewards can add up quick seeing as they are networking and marketing veterans of sorts.
I do like the liberation of the Facebook creators who produce content for free or vanity alone. Just become a blogger and see where that takes you. STEEM is the place for all of those and anyone looking to boost their online brand and presence.

If they have been demonetized, they have little choice. at least when they start again, their audience that they build is "theirs" as they can move much more easily across the ecosystem, plus leverage multiple applications simultaneously without having to start fresh on each.
I think that in the future there is a good chance that the early adopters will be very glad they were.

You have seized upon a good point. As Tarazkp said, until they come for you it’s amnother persons problem
These are well put words:
The share generation is upon us. We can lure some YouTubers here for a small second stream of income and protection against demonetization and deplatformizayion, but we must bring their following to really complete the transition.
Perhaps individuals could write SPS projects to onboard one big content creator and their following at a time?
That is an interesting idea, but not sure if it would get traction as no one will agree who to target
No surprise that steem posts are the most retweeted. Everyone wants this platform to work, God knows I'll happily run the Berlin Marathon for a $10 steem
I'd happily run the marathon if I thought I could make it half way :D
Pity we have to focus on internal shit instead of external growth so often
Imma say it, shall I?
For a “hosted blogging platform”, as the platform still is and will continue to be with communities, being a meta-kitchen is worst that could happen to the platform because beyond fanboy kool-aid you have literally nothing to show.
Fact.
what's a meta kitchen?
Not only that, there's so many of them that I think most people really don't want to join yet another bloody socnet especially when they're all "ghost towns" (their friends/favourite celebrities aren't here therefore absolutely no one at all is here, the myriad of people on here don't count ;D).
Pretty much.
