This is the world we live in now. I have to admit that I am still an active Facebook user. I love seeing photos and hearing about old friends’ lives that I would otherwise have lost touch with. Also seeing photos of my family members that live hundreds of miles away. Particularly my little nieces and nephews. I’m in my mid 30s, so I’m on that fine line where we got the last of the analog world and the first of the digital world. It’s equally impressive and depressing.

But yes, you are so right. People are so desperate for validation. It’s almost sickening. That’s why I love Steemit. I come here to see what truly makes people tick and what they are passionate about. Steemit may be in a bit of a slump, but I still find it to be a breath of fresh air.
