That's an interesting article. It also clearly shows the priority of the consumers. It is not news from the NY Times and not even sports or music, but videos that help to make your life better. tss.

In essence it means that in order to have a positive impact on news, politics and rich and important other content like science, the SMTs have to be optimized for the use of these content types. Otherwise things will end the same way as on FB or YT. But if SMTs get focused on the "important" niche, then it will never be more than a niche product itself.

Looking at steemit, the decision has already been made. Here, food, traveling and inspiration contents are by far the most popular. At the end quality content will have/already do have the same fate as it has elsewhere. Either it gets sponsored or cross financed and both options are suboptimal.

Can you give me the source of this chart please:

I will follow you now.
