Steemit, the real social media?

I've asked 3 of my friends ( they're addicted to facebook and instagram ) what if a social media will pay you.

3 answers:

1. "I have many likes on comments, I would buy a house. Facebook will never do this to us"

2. "If i count my number of likes, they more than math had numbers"

3. "It will never happen"

When I showed them steemit, the first reaction was Scam. hahaha so funny.

People still doesn't believe this community and their shares.

I truly believe that this is going to be the new social media of 2018.
Anyone thinks the same with me ?
