It's an extremely positive thing for Steem that other services are growing on the platform, as far too many see Steem blockchain only as something to run Steemit. With good luck, we'll have plenty of Steem users who have no contact to Steemit and will live their lives happily.
Not that we would be unhappy on Steemit either. We can be though. Steemit hasn't been improving much though and quite many other services have gone far beyond in terms of pleasure to use.
Looking forward for SMTs though. They can be a real gamechanger OR a complete flop which goes mostly unnoticed.
“Steemit will soon become intolerable”, working title for an upcoming post.
There will be a lot of $hit Media Tokens but already right now there’s some teams who may actually have a model which can contribute to $TEEM looking forward. Let’s hope that will cascade to more because the reward pool alone will not be sufficient if SMTs succeed.
