Totally agree. I think the platforms that succeed in the long term (whether that's Steemit, DTube, or something else) will do so off their ability to effectively scrape and curate all the data and posts on the blockchain. But the firehose approach will suffer the same fate steemit does now, which is to encourage bots and abuse. For me, though this is likely an unpopular opinion, having algorithms that better inform human curation (a mix of both really) is the only way to sort the content for effective long-term viability. So we'll see if some other UI on top of Steem is able to bring a new approach to this market.
