People are going to excitedly write about whatever it is they're excited about at the time. Being burnt out over various issues at steem (the code this, system allows that, selfish greedy maximisers etc etc etc) is possibly causing some people to suffer grass is greener syndrome/look at new things with hope that it doesn't have all the things wrong that they're perceiving in this one.

I don't think it's a bad thing as it prevents resting on laurels and hopefully this project continues strongly. Some of these new things may just collapse and die in the end or never really take off, some may do better, and some will just be there.

And obviously EOS is a pretty hot topic as there's a discussion going on in one of the channels I hang out on regularly as I'm typing XP
