# It is Time To Wake Up and Get with the Program! # The Centralized social media companies don't care about you. They only care about the bottom line to please their overlords on Wall St. I cringe every time I see the giant social media companies change their algorithm or just delete a part of the platform that the community found valuable. I have been through it too many times. Hell, I still have over 104,000 followers on my [Verified Google Plus Profile](https://plus.google.com/u/0/+RandyHilarskiMediapreneur) and almost 1,000 subscribers on my [Verified Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq4rEwW4A_dYFEKmZzKMFWw). The problem is that the value of those properties has decreased substantially over the last few years. I put so much work into those profiles and you know what, "you can't cry over spilled milk!" They will beat you, make you feel that you are just a number and move onto the next poor schmuck who thinks they can outsmart the system.
## What I Did To Overcome All the Social Media Shennanigans. ## I took the skills I learned on Google Plus, Facebook, Pinterest, Wordpress, Blogger, Medium, Linkedin, Twitter and I brought them over to a decentralized social network called [Steemit](https://steemit.com/@hilarski). This social media platform has literally brought me back from the verge of quitting blogging all together. Now I blog on Steemit daily, collect rewards and use the old social media platforms to share my Steemit content. It really is a win win situation for me and anyone who is a content creator. Steemit is a community that welcomes our opinion. Sure sometimes we have trolls, plagiarism, cat memes, nudity, flat earthers and a myriad of other things that may get under your skin but at least the community isn't about enriching some big data firm or Wall Street Fat Cat.

Anyone who creates can find a niche on the platform. All I ask is that you put some effort into it. I am not asking that you write everyday like I did for the last 8 months. I know that is insane, but I am asking that you create content and engage with the community. ### Don't sit in the corner and talk to the wall, join in the conversation! ###
