I wasn't part of the original blogging era and was directly introduced to the concept through MySpace and Facebook. So, quick reactions and no real engagement were the only way I knew to use social media. Although I ended up on Steemit and stuck with it because it was quite the opposite. I remember my first ever detailed conversation on mosquitoes with a random person from somewhere in the world — now sounds like a weird topic but it was an enriching conversation after which there was no going back. I liked reading articles and more than that the fact that I'd also get a reply if I ask a question or share my feedback on the topic. I found it thrilling.

But that's just me. I feel lucky to be a part of this space and quickly understanding the soul of actual blogging. But new generations are constantly being fed quick fire content which is mostly useless and hard to engage with anyway. This Facebook Effect will only make things worse. There's no way back. But as long as there are people who understand the true spirit of blogging... I'm only sitting with them.
