Is it weird that I seem to shy away from the promoted tab for finding new post to read? I mean I have nothing against it per say. Truthfully people who are willing to "put there money where there mouth is" sounds like a fair way to keep junk post down to a minimum on that section of the platform. After all your not going to pay a fee to spam the platform when you can do it for free. And yet I feel like if I click on the link I'm being herded, and I strive not to be a sheep in my daily life (in less it's the black one). I read an article posted by another member on it's use and I used it for a while but reverted to just Active and New tabs (and of course my feeds) a day or so after.
Its not like it's a moral dilemma or something just the way I see it. Did we really need the tab? I'm not sure im kinda new so maybe quite a few Steemit users wanted the tab and I know its a way of sifting the information down more so we might view, comment, and vote on it but im not sure if it was necessary. It I guess is philosophical for me (hobby numba 1 Philosophy) and really Ive never been the social network type preferring to meet folks in real life for my human interaction. Just the pondering of a sage and his demons I guess...
