Great article. I’ll be sharing the video. Steem is definitely the solution, but Facebook is huge and you are right that breaking it up won’t solve the problem.
What is needed is a transfer of the value locked up in Facebook to all the people on Steem and involved in the Crypto industry generally.

This is what the Crypto Class Action against Facebook & Google is designed to do. Signup at www.jpbliberty.com if you want part of Facebook & Google’s market cap transfered to you!

Nice dude!  
I'm really glad it's becoming part of the general mainstream conversation, and with the US elections coming up, it's only going to get more and more exposure... unless, of course, Facebook, Google and Amazon bury it.

Good article. I think maybe it will be very helpful to collect info for the article: the problem with Steemit so as to further improve the users' experiences here.

@andrarchy, Every era travelled with both **Problem** and **Solution**. So, in my opinion if in this era **Facebook** is becoming problem then **Steem Blockchain** will going to become the perfect solution. Stay blessed.

Great post, it's been great to see communication improve the last few months and see 

STEEM perform better.

Excellent work! We just have to tread carefully. FB and their ilk are all government owned and run as most here are well aware, and more people on their platform are coming to realize. Governments, particularly in the US, don’t like people stepping on their turf despite the need/ability to do so. I’m sure they are well aware of us here and with the hopefully coming to the end of the bear crypto market, many will be as well so they will naturally flock over to us here. 

I think now is the best time to advertise in the manner you have with this post/video. Especially since we’ve had several very successful app launches in the past 6-9 months.

If you want another example of a problem of a small group of people having control over social media platforms you could talk about Google shutting down Google+. G+ was never Facebook-level huge, but for people like me who formed connections there having Google yank the rug out from under us really sucks.

I saw the dangers of Facebook a few months after it started, when they began forcing people to submit their real ID's. I closed my account immediately and never looked back. The rest is history, their repeated abuses kept getting worse, yet, they're still around. It puzzles me that people ignore how enslaved they are to social media.

On twitter are massive heads-up about steem, @nathanmars is doing a good job towards this, well contribute any best way we can

Very well done and excited to see you making content again, you’re quite good at it you know 😉

I think I’ll share this on twitter and Facebook...

I understand your position. But I believe that even following ideals, and being extreme adept of Steem, we can't take facebook as enemies. Already knowing, stay close to your friend, but closer to your enemy. Steem should have more ways to integrate Facebook pages. Steemit could campaign there! We have people from all over the world here! I'm from [@Brazilians](https://steemit.com/@Brazilians), we can show it it's time to use the community that shapes it! together we are stronger. We identify with Steem, we wear the shirt, not with facebook. The face we only use, we have to take the seed of Steem in all social networks! But we need more more collaborative work organized by Steemit INC. Use the strength we have, the power of the social! Thanks for Steemit and Steem! Steem on! Steem to the Sky!

Steem being a viable alternative as the traditional players continue to become under scrutiny will provide our community the ability to demonstrate the strength of decentralization and the benefits it brings to the community through transparency and the ability for attention to be rewarded for efforts.  Great to see consistent content from you!  Thanks!

It's a good video that's simple and to the point. Going forward to get non tech people in the whole system will need to be shown in a simplified manner. 

Whatever front end that might be but people want quick and easy. They will only come if it's instant log in and doesn't need a tutorial. To be fair since I've joined 2 years ago there has been big strides taken towards that.

 
It is now much easier to join and use the chain today than when I started so that's a good sign.

Hi andrarchy, great work bringing steem into the conversation between these two political figures.

I will share this on twitter asap... I would share it on Facebook but they've shadow banned me already for sharing my steem content and tagging friends who'd asked me to tag then so they could keep track with my writing.

I pretty much boycott fbook because of there actions but it is a shame now we have a concerted marketing drive happening as I'd love to have some impact sharing steem with the 500 friends I have on fbook.

🙂

great write up.  off to twitter I go with this.
@andrarchy :)

Ohhh you're doing great leveraging this - I'm happy and proud to see it. Quick actions! I'm off sharing on Twitter now. *Steem on*!

Impressive presentation skills.  Right on the money with current events and the value proposition.  This is ideal professional marketing material to spread around. More please.

>People are finally starting understand that this isn’t about left or right.

I am not sure, most are little drones and bots unable to think by themselves... they saw girls with mac laptop and swarmed to buy them, they saw the girls on facebook and again, same for insta and co... they don't ask questions, nor seek answers... most but not all. 
free range cattle have more free will than most humans...

Really a  great article, everyone should share this.

Great new format, @andrarchy. The blog post in combination with the video is really good!

With the rumours making the rounds with regards to facebook stepping into the blockchain phenomenon, do you think they might not be looking at ways to ease the pressure on them concerning their use of user info and all that? 
Is it possible for facebook to make their processes decentralized?

Interesting that there would be a DDoS attack the same day this hits mainstream social media. Maybe a coincidence...
