as far as it concerns me it still looks like a clone. It's really like some of the people there sing up in steemit and for a week they did a search as to what the problems are. They found out about the external apps like dtube dlive etc etc and they said ok let's make something with the exact same interface, logic (wkd wuke power etc etc) and then solve the external apps problem.

Imagine if we say ok, bid-bots are the issue and then make an exact copy of steemit with an embed ban to those services ( i can't call that innovation :P)

On the other hand though as you mention too, it's the best competitor steemit has and i like to see competition because it will make both platforms better, or at least i hope so. Also if they manage to keep the issues steemit has away the there is a future for weku!
