I think NFT's will be bigger than Communities from Steemit
I am more excited about non fungible tokens (NFT's) than I am about communities coming out of Steemit. Yes, communities will clean things up some and enhance categorization of subject matter. But I am leaning more to the opinion it won't be the holy grail that they are so blinkered to.
You still have to get the sign up issues, 4 separate keys confusion and general all round education of new users. Users who are led to believe that earning is easy on Steemit. Then getting upset that they don't feel valued by the community and leave.
Then you look at the games on Steem. Like Splinterlands and Next colony, the latter I am not keen on at all, but credit where it is due, they are doing very well on Steem. Whilst Steemit is losing users, the games are growing in users everyday. The numbers are there to back this up.
Now Steem Engine is going to soon launch NFT's and I think this will be the game changer for Steem. You will own your gaming digital assets, lease them, trade them. They are yours, immutable, verifiable and secure.
This is the future.

As a new user, it's been fairly difficult for me to filter the information that I'm looking for. I'll admit, I'm very new, but the tags only do so much and from what I've seen the most upvoted and income generating things are coming not from individuals but from folks who are part of some kind of curation guild. I like the idea of a decentralized network but the incentive structure behind the monetization and upvote systems seem to reward collective behavior rather than individual contribution. Mind you, this is a very shallow and green viewpoint, but I think communities should help with the categorization of information.
I'm curious about the gaming aspect of Steemit but I'll admit I've seen posts about the games but have yet to go as far as to actually play any of them. I'm still getting a feel for the place.
