Good evening to all steemit users,
first i want to apologize for my bad english, im german :)
Like a lot users i am new in the steemit universe. The concept of steemit is fascinating and when i first heard of steemit i was immediately interested.
However i looked at the trendings and i was shocked. The most successful posts are not about politics or anything substantial, its about women doing yoga, cute puppies and males who make fuckin make up tutorials. (Please excuse the vulgar language.)
It shows me what our society has become and i am wondering why. I mean, there are so many more important things in life. Starving children (to begin with the most obvious stereotype about somebody who wants to demonstrate the cruelty of this world), unnecessary drone wars were 95% of the victims are innocent civilians and all this racism we still could not solve yet.
It seems like all we care about is having a nice house, a car, and our smartphone we can watch porn, cute puppies and stupid pranks with.
It is just depressing and im wondering how everybody with a functional brain and a bit humanism could work against this trend of this meaningless life.
If you know how, let me know.
----- UPDATE ------
Of course i am not new to the internet like some comments are saying. It is just so, that the transparent concept of steemit shows more than ever how big the mass of people is who want to see all this irrelevant stuff.
