I agree with a lot of what you said here. You may be right about the advertising. I'm not entirely convinced though.

I think Steemit's model is better, but the problem here is all of the bots and early adopters skewing which content is seen.

I don't necessarily think that early adopters are a "problem," though, as Steemit was, from the start, a stake-weighted voting platform. Trust me, though, I have suffered at the hands of those fish larger than I several times on here, so I do get it.

Incentive models for user generated content is in it's infancy in my opinion. EOS, Smart Media Tokens... a lot of new models will be built using this tech.

Agree. Thanks for commenting.
