Steemit is the Facebook killer!

No it's not. Facebook has investors and businesses/advertisers that all make money. So far, we have basically heard that revenue generation around here isn't a good idea or isn't necessary.

This place won't even kill Medium, 4chan, or Reddit, let alone Facebook.

Exactly... plus if Steemit were to implement this, we would truly be the first - that I know of - decentralized revenue producing organization on the planet.

until then... we're a neat toy, admittedly really cool toy. But as such, it will only be toy money compared to facebook.

I have nothing against ads but hopefully this will still be avoided

if ads come in here the other social media shall die

It definitely will lead to that !

Adds can be added smartly as indicated by @ats-david in this post ...I wonder if those responsible will see this post and at least start the discussion
