I definitely see both sides of the discussion here, but the more I've thought about it I can definitely see SMTs as the future of the internet. Websites and apps number one goal are maximizing it's user base. They also want users engaging as much as possible on their platform and what better way than providing a monetary reward for activity and engagement. If you end up with hundreds, possibly even thousands of websites and apps all powered by the Steem block chain it's very easy to see how Steem could grow the world over and be the number one most used crypto globally, which will increase the value tremendously.

As investors, our goal is to put our money in the best possible place to maximize returns. There cannot be any ideological bias at play here. While being the number one social media site might be well and good, it pales in comparison to the financial returns of a globally used crypto currency backing hundreds our thousands of websites and apps.

Great vlog brother discussing a very important topic. Have a great day man!
