RE: Top 10 Reasons Why Being On The Steem Blockchain Is The Right Choice And How It Could Head Towards $1,000!!!
A great post - whilst I agree with all of your points, I can't help but feel that the look and feel of Steemit needs to move fast to make it more user-friendly ready for the potential influx from FB etc. Many just won't get it in its current form and will move on.
DTube has done a great job recently of presenting a user interface that is familiar and is unlikely to phase the YouTube faithful. Steemit needs to move fast to follow suit - I won't repeat the current shortcomings as there are plenty of decent suggestions out there.
SMTs look fantastic in terms of potential but I think the steemit platform needs to be further refined before the focus is shifted to such addons.
The risk is that another blockchain (EOS?) learns the lessons and presents a better experience from the beginning with a new social media platform....
I felt D.Tube and Zappl were going to be the applications that attract the large number of users. I was happy to see Zappl get their 500K SP delegation the other day. I think that will really help them like D.Tube was helped.
That said, I do agree with you about Steemit. That is why I am going to start looking at what is going on with Busy....that might be one that is worthy of a look. I read they are looking at creating an UI that is more like FB.
But what you say is true...the steemit development team is great at what they do...they just tend to be a bit slow and have no communication with the community.
I must confess that I've yet to play with zappl and you've given me the much needed nudge to do it. Likewise busy.
DTube gives me hope. I just don't want the first mover advantage to be lost by steemit. The basics are there. It just needs finessing to get it to the levels most expect if it's to gain mainstream adoption. Let's hope the dev team are on it!
