Content discovery. . .

I hear this one a lot. It’s gotten so bad for tags like gaming if people are not using a dapp that has a filter or a third party site to sift through stuff. They are going give up trying wade through all the spam of battle reports, high game scores, and matches are starting soon posts among other things.

The biggest issue I see that mainstream has nailed down is metrics on how content is performing. You don’t even get a view count here unless you are using a dapp that has it and then it’s only for that app. A large amount of votes are auto or trails or bought so that not a big indicator either.

If I contact a company wanting to do a review on their product I have no real numbers to give them if I’m using my Steemit links. Also as you pointed out its far too complex to start explaining. Even more so to non-crypto business people who don’t have all day and need to make a quick decision.

Which can host various different types of social networks

I don’t know too much about Snax (link to their websites roadmap) but they are looking to tokenize across many different platforms: steemit, twitter, reddit, youtube and so on.
