I think all of the developments are great. One of the people who is more knowledgeable about the subject explained to me some of the benefits of using the new front ends and hashtags.

By filtering out much of the spam content that is out there currently they have been able to curate content more easily with #palnet or #steemleo as these work to narrow down posts. Only content that uses their tag shows up on their front end therefore you dont have to wade through useless spammers like on Steemit.

Another good use is that we are creating layers of value on the blockchain by stacking different tokens like PAL/LEO/WEED etc. These increase visibility and profit potential for bloggers.
