I signed up when I first heard about narrative, but the obvious profit seeking motive of making users pay for a niche every year, for a site that is completely unproven really turned me off. That seemed like pure rent-seeking to me. A non-oligarchical fork of steem that actually rewards human beings for quality content, interaction, and curation is far more appealing to me.

Yeah, some of us have talked about that extensively during Alpha. I believe they should have a fire sell on niches to spur faster growth and adoption.
