LOL, I think you might be reaching a little here ;)

Soros, I believe, would not be a great fan of Steem either. Part of the controlling aspect of Facebook and other social platforms is how they hook users by using variable rewards (i.e. you want to know how many likes/hearts/follows you have and keep checking back).

Variable rewards are VERY powerful psychologically, and are the reason we love slot machines so much - you might win nothing, a few pennies, or the jackpot - it's the not knowing which is the addictive part.

And I think Steem is possibly more guilty than Facebook and the like in that respect. The variable rewards most Steem users are interested in is cold, hard cash. There's more pull in the power of an upvote than a Facebook like, or Instagram heart.

We can just as easily become addicted to Steemit, as with any other social network - maybe even more so. There might not be a corporation behind it, but it's still manipulating us psychologically. And it's no accident...that was baked in when Steem was created.
