Can you make money off Facebook Ads without paying for it? No. For me, I joined Steemit for free. Yes, somebody must have paid for the creation of my account in 2017. But my point is that I did not pay any money to begin my journey on Steemit. Yeah, I only made a few dollars or more maybe. My account might have been worth a thousand dollars or so at one point. Some of the SBD or SP might have been sucked up by other apps, assuming there are Steem Taxes or whatever. I might have spent some of it. Now, my account might be worth only like $150 last time I checked.
Problems
Yes. Steemit has problems. I don't disagree. I will stay on Steemit until something better comes along. @KawaiiCrush, give me a better alternative to Steem, and I will look at it. Give me many alternatives to choose from. I do copy and paste my Steemit posts to other platforms that are connected to Steem, like Bear Shares, Serey, Weku, Dream Real, Smoke.... that is five separate websites..... independent of Steem.... I am sure others are coming... so, bring on the competition. If people can do better than Steemit, then that is awesome. If those five sites are better, people should focus on them over Steemit. You should check them out if you have not. If nothing else was better than Steemit, then hold Steemit close to your heart, that is if it is your best choice. At the same time, work at trying to build new platforms and networks that can do better than Steemit.
Alone
But don't be alone with nothing. If Steemit was the only website in the world, then why not post stuff on it? Don't spend too much time on Steemit. But we are not alone. Like I said, we have some alternatives to Steemit, like Weku. But some of the alternatives may suck too, you may argue. If they do suck too badly, like excessively, then stay on Steemit until a better boat arrives, a better ship, right?
By the way, Facebook bans people. Facebook has banned me many times. When Facebook hates you, then they take away your ads. Two of my YouTube channels were banned. Same thing with Twitter. It happens to me and millions of people. We get censored, banned, suspended, shadow banned, etc, etc, in the 2010's globally, like never ever before in world history. Big tech have big problems.
RE: @berniesanders is POWERING DOWN ALL MAJOR ACCOUNTS. HE KNOWS STEEM IS A WORTHLESS SHITCOIN.
