The first thing I thought when I heard about this place back in September of 2016 was this is revolutionary. I saw tremendous potential instantly. Then I joined in the fun and noticed many shared the same view. Some thought of it as a replacement for existing platforms like Facebook, but a few of us saw something much bigger.

These days it's hard to find the visionary types. Old, almost ancient ideas when it comes to internet technology are being recycled and reformatted to fit in with a model that I thought and still think should be shaking up the internet and making huge waves towards being disruptive. So many seem to think making this place similar to something in existence is the way to go. I feel that's wasteful and halts progress.

Then some are applauding the use of approaches already proven to be failures on other platforms (like buying views and followers) so I too become worried if this will all be a waste of time. To me though, solving the issues seems simple enough that I still hang on. Then I see others simply give up and I go back to thinking maybe they're on to something. Yet I see so many still being awesome, and when I look at them closely: they're smart, motivated, driven to succeed types... and some days that's all I see.
